Most of us do not use alkaline AA's, we use the Energizer Lithium AA's which have a lot more capacity at lower weight. I have yet to use up a set of Lithium AA's in my camera, I forget to turn it off, or it gets turned on in the bag (my Oly has a lousey on/off switch), and wind up having to replace them but not because I have shot too may photos.
