Default should I send my camera back?

I have a HP photosmart 945, besides the size of it (can't just drop it in my breast pocket) its fantastic and I have gotten some really good pics with it. Problem is it chews thru batteries, and I don't mean it simply uses too many, I mean a set of 4 new duracell AA will only last a weekend.
The warranty is done, and I bought it on-line using airmiles so I don't have a dealer to take it back to.
I guess my real question is how expensive are digital camera repairs? I don't want to put a few hundred $ into this camera after seeing a friends new Cannon, but I don't want to toss it either. This camera laughs at rechargeable batteries. I literally have to have a new set of quality batteries with me every time I take it out, could this be an easy fix, or did I get a lemon thats not worth the bother?
