I would agree with Nic that rechargeables are probably the way to go. I have used mainstream batteries (Duracell, Energiser etc) but the best ones I now have are called Powerowl and are 2800mAh and really last a lot longer than the others. I think 8 of these cost £10 on Amazon so pretty good value.
Depending where your camera is located another option is to use a DC power supply to the camera. I had an outdoor power cable going to a waterproof box which housed the power adapter and the adapter lead came out the box to the camera. This meant that I had power 24hrs a day and technically, no need to change batteries. In my case I had a couple of issues in that the camera design was faulty and you had to disconnect the power cable to access the SD card, which then meant all the settings were lost. There were work arounds to this, but eventually I went back to rechargeables, especially as I now have 3 cameras around the garden and using power adapters is not practical.
