I agree on this point too loh, it ugly as a present. :bsmilie: Maybe you can buy an extra batt for the camera as well... but that need $$$. Or simply just leave herself the option to go and buy extra batt herself.
Canon IS is not bad as I seen some of my frds using but it your choice.
just happened to chance upon the Fujifilm forum, most ppl will complain the battery life for the F200EXR too short(130-200 shots), so DEFINITELY need to buy extra batt if you shooting whole day...
