FWIW, the battery life on the D200 was supposed to be around 800-900 shots, according to the reviews.
At first, i was lucky to get 150 shots per battery. Now after a number of cycles, i'm up to something like 300 shots per. Maybe the Pentax battery needs a few charges to get up to speed as well. Of course, i look at every shot during my horse shows and use AF and VR, so that eats it up .
