Re: Exclusive picture of "new" Pentax D-SLR

[Leonard Paris]

Battery consumption has never been a real consideration with the digital cameras I use. They are Lithium Ion rechargeables and have plenty of power to carry me through a wedding or any other assignment I get. I top off the charge thhe night before I do the shoot and I have always had plenty of power to spare.

There is little reason why a DSLR would be worse for battery consumption
than a digital P&S, and there's no winding mechanism so there's more space
in the body - I would suggest that a 4xAA system would be the best - use
2xCR-V3 for long disposable use, NiMH for everyday and if you're caught
short with no power buy some duracells...
