Battery life wasn't a problem with my Olympus C-2100 UZ. The low resolution screen in the EVF wasn't stellar but the battery life was fine with 4 AA batteries. Given the EVF is a small LCD and the backlight can be an LED these days, I suspect the power consumption is negligible compared to other power eaters like writing to memory cards, image processing, screw or SDM focus, etc. I still have the C-2100 UZ and it still works fine. In lens image stabilization, 10x optical zoom (38-380mm equivalent) and 2 megapixels of quality along with the EVF. Certainly not a convenient shape though with the protruding lens and box-like styling.
