Hi Team,
Just thought that I would mention that I managed to shoot 1578 shots
on the one battery last night, there was still some power left in the
grip battery and the body battery was unused.

I kept track on my K7 for a couple of battery cycles--1200 and 1400 shots,
roughly. I hardly ever use the flash.

way we might get some real world data on Pentax battery life.

Can confirm that :-)
I ran out of the first battery (in the body)
I think i reported about 400 when mine died a week or two ago, but i
misinformed you. It was more around 280.
However it was the first charge and battery was in the camera from mid
December to second week of March, so it probably lost a bit sitting

I have a Pz-1p and can easily get 50 rolls to a battery. I
seldom use autofocus or the built in flash, so that probably extends
things. Battery brand can have a really big impact. I've found
Vartas and Sanyos to last very long, Duracells to be about the
