Donno yet, we'll see what happens with the software update. There is a solar option at $89.99+++
Hopefully the software upgrade will make a big difference for you. Good luck. :)
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

I use one of the Bushnells that run on either four or eight AA's, the camera has been out since the end of April and has plenty of bettery life left. Supposed to be good for a year, so we will put it to the test.

The other camera I use is not mine, :D , it is Ecoasters. A spypoint with rechargeable lithium batteries. That also lasts quite long and up until last weekend when I removed the camera it too was showing full battery strength, having been out since the end of April.

I have cams made by 4 manufacturers and the batteries last just fine (months++). The issue is with my plot watches not my regular game cams.
