Just like my K20D ones." But I agree in that this depends greatly on the use that one makes of the camera. In my case, I like the idea of having always a spare charged battery in the camera case, so I know that I won't run out of power, and I don't want to worry about having to charge all batteries (in-use and spare) every time I want to grab the camera.... ...but wait, we don't need to choose!!! We can have some eneloops type always ready just in case and also some powerful 'regular NiMHs' for those planned intesive shooting days...that's the advantage of inexpensive batteries ! Now, if only the K-x could handle them...
