That's basically what I was saying, without actually saying it :) The batteries are definitely light, and also really expensive. They probably have a higher money-density (in dollars per ounce) than the camera itself :) BTW I don't think the 67 is a heavy camera but as others say, it depends on what you compare it to. A 67 with a prism is a featherweight compared to the monster Mamiya RB67 with its 100% coverage (for 7x7cm, to accommodate the rotating back) solid-glass prism fitted. In fact, that thing's even heavy with a folding waist- level finder. I also consider the Z-1p as "light" because my other 35mm bodies are K2's, which are about the heaviest 35mm bodies that Pentax ever made.
