Yes you can use the larger mAh AA batteries.
It has more capacity and should give you longer service before needing recharge.
The battery manufacturers recommend that you do not mix the batteries. i.e. don't use mAh 2100 and mAh 2500 as one set, use all 2100 or all 2500 as one set.

This camera came with Sony AA NI-MH rechargable batteries rated at 2100 mAh. Is it possible to replace these batteries at a higher mAh of say 2500 or 3000 without damage to the camera.
I do not see this addressed any place and would like to consider purchasing additional batteries with 2500 mAh. Thanks for your help!
