Well, this is my thing with "special" batteries - suppose you ain't got
a place to recharge it, overnight or otherwise. Apparently, they are
lasting longer than they used to, which is good, and certainly, such
would mitigate my desire to have "normal" cells, but I would still
choose "normal" cells over special batteries, all else being fairly
equal. Remember that you can get ni-cad or lith-ion AA/AAA/C/D cells,
and the recharging options are vast, from mains to solar and even wind.

Very bad advice.

If you use "standard" sized lithium-ion batteries in a camera designed
for "normal" batteries you'll fry your camera. Lithium-ion batteries
produce twice the voltage of alkaline batteries and three times the
voltage of NiMH batteries..
