<p>You could get the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-BP200-Battery-Pack-Rebel/dp/B00004WCF0">BP-200</a> battery pack, which accepts 4 AA batteries or a 2CR5 battery. JR</p>

<p>But you were just asking whether to buy a Canon or a Nikon, now you're asking about batteries for a Canon?</p>

<p>I don't know about battery packs for cheaper batteries on the Rebel 2000, but I know that the battery pack eats a bunch of AA batteries very quickly on the digital Rebel cameras. You might try rechargeable batteries to cut costs, but one-time use batteries can be very expensive when you need to replace them after a day or less of shooting.</p>

<p>BTW, when a person posts without ever looking at or replying to the answers on a topic, we call them "<strong>drive-by posters</strong> ". Give us a sign that you're actually looking at the answers, and we'll be more inclined as a group to give them. Even the simple word <em>thanks</em> , would let us know that you are actually still there.</p>

<p>Besides, look at the statements of purpose and so on that you agreed to when you signed up here. This is an <em>archived</em> site, so stuff that is written as though it were a text message or tweet that will disappear into thin air after a while (lots of people wish they would, anyhow :p) is going to look pretty stupid by the time you grow up.</p>

<p>A pair of CR2 batteries for my Rebel 2000 cost me a whole of $4 to buy and will last a year or more. I'm not sure I follow how that is expensive enough to warrant a mod to the camera or buying a BP-200...?</p>

<p>BP-200 makes the camera much nicer to handle and rechargeable batteries last a good while. I recommend it even if you can find cheap CR2s.</p>
