Hi, Bill, Valid points, all. My acquaintance (I'm not calling him a friend, because I don't much like him - and not because he uses N****, either) tends to use the LCD screen, and shoot as fast as the body allows him, for one or two seconds at a time, then edit on the fly. Wouldn't take long to shoot several hundred exposures that way. No wonder he has to take a spare battery with him.
