Re: L plate for *istD

[Herb Chong]

i have PowerEx batteries, but i also use a 4G Microdrive. about double the 
power consumption of a solid state card. i won't use a battery grip on the 
camera. it's too large already, as far as i am concerned.

What kind of batteries are you using? I can get five or six hours and five 
hundred or so shots with the camera on constantly and in continuous focus 
mode. That's with the battery grip and 2300 Sanyon nimh batteries. With AA 
lithiums, I can go around ten hours and at least 1000 shots. Under normal 
shooting contditions, I'll get about 800 shots on the nimh and 1800 or 
more on the lithiums
