Q about 'macro' camera settings

Olle -

The G3 does have an in-camera battery charger; the CA-560 [not USB; uses a mini-DIN cable]. The CR-560 is the off-camera battery charger, with optional 12v car adapter.

I did a little browsing this morning, Canon seems to want a lot for batteries. There's other companies make batteries they say will work, but the reviews on them aren't very encouraging. 150 charges seems to be the average, then they're junk.

I'm still wishy-washy about digital cameras.
