Bummer, I could have used it on my trip.
It does seem like the battery display shows full charge until just
before the charge is exhausted. Once you see the half charged symbol,
it's going to be a matter of minutes before it shows you the battery is
depleted.
Really? Wow... I thought they would have figured that one out by now. My K10D
behaves a bit like that, although I got a couple of hours of light usage (I
think). It shut down just after I took a photo and I was worried that it might
have corrupted the card, but it turned out fine.
Damn it, now you've reminded me of Darwin, which is where that happened. I
want to go back!
Cheers,

The battery life on the K-3 is really good. I bought a spare battery & I
try to change out batteries when the display shows half charge. The
battery display just doesn't give as much warning as I'd like.
It's like it shows full charge for 90% and half charge for 8% before it
shows no charge for the last 2%, which will fool you.
