No, don't think so. I don't risk loosing a shot. I always have a spare set with me, where ever I go. (When things happens fast around me, if it looks like I may loose a shot or two, then I do change before they are depleted)
I don't risk anything with my $1000 investment. Think it's a "Cow Falling Out Of Sky" issue. Some cameras behaves this way, some don't. And from my experience, mine is among those who don't. If time proves me wrong, you will be the first to know. Then you could say, "what did I tell you"? Wouldn't that be nice ;-) About the $10: I've got Scottish blood in my veins. Seriously: It's not about the money. I simply want my batteries perform at their best. Changing batteries is not my favourite activity. But. If I would make you feel more comfortable, I could change my battery habits ;-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.
