Hi Godfrey Maybe the 2 Pentax battereries I have are still too new ? but I got under 500 exposures and never saw the battery gauge on the K10D changing from full to another state before the batteries shut down. I use review and the histogram, that must be the power hungry functions. I wonder how much battery AF uses, andy ideas?

The Impact and Konica Minolta batteries I have as well seem to last about the same amount of time. It varies a bit based on what I'm doing ... Normally I have the Review function turned off, but if I'm doing tabletop work I have the review set for maximum and use the Digital Preview with histogram quite a lot.
