Alex, are you using Auto focus? Flash? I am amazed that you can get so much! I assume that if you say 270, then you are shooting RAW? (As I do, and I can get 282 exposures) What the heck am I doing wrong?!?!?
One thing though, is that I will often delete in field, so I guess for every time I fill the card with 282 exposures, you could probably add another 100 that I've already deleted. Obviously, that would drain the batteries too... :-) tan. -----Original Message----- From: alex wetmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 18 July 2004 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: *ist D and Power sources On Sun, 18 Jul 2004, Tanya Mayer Photography wrote: > Shaun, if anyone *has* come up with such a solution - I WANT IT!

I use this setup and have no problem with filling up the drive (about 270 exposures) on a single set of AA batteries. I am using 2200mah AA NiMH cells, nothing too fancy. alex
