No, You don't have to buy lots of batteries, just buy the correct ones...
I'm not familiar with the C370, but if it can take Duracell's it probably
uses AA batteries. You should be using NIMH or Lithium Rechargeable
batteries.
I have a couple of Olympus C series cameras. I bought a couple of sets of
Maha NIMH's for each camera and a good charger. A set of these batteries
can be used for many years before they need replacing. (I bought mine in
2000 and have recently bought some replacements)
