No such thing as a stupid question right?

What kind of batteries are used/available in Europe. I ask because my digital camera takes a pair of Double A's and goes through them really fast and I'm hoping the same is used there so I can pick them up as I need them.

You won't have any problems getting Double A's in Europe.

He's right, you can get AA batteries as easily in Europe as you can at home.

have you thought about getting rechargeable batteries that can adapt for your camera? I have a sony camera that comes with batteries and a recharger and the plug end of the charger can be changed for whichever continent im in
