Not necessarily Rishab, I am very much an amateur, but have run through my batteries on at least two memorable occasions where fantastic photo-opportunites came up with the dead certainty of Murphy's Law, just after my batteries packed up. So...yes, *I* would say, carry a rechargeable set of batteries with the charger, and a set of non-rechargeable batteries (cheaper) as a back-up. This kind of situation may happen at, say, an air show, a safari.... any event that would have you clicking away at regular intervals....in fact, on my new camera (Canon S3IS), the very fact that I am a beginner and often look at my images,using the display mode, drains the batteries even faster. And the other thing is, these kind of cameras do not have the long-life batteries that the higher-end DSLR's carry. No one wants to be in the situation of having a lovely shot in front of them with the batteries out of juice; so if you are investing so much in a camera, do invest in spare batteries as well, would be ....my opinion.
