Odd. I've now one 3rd party battery I bought short after I bought K10D back in late 2006. It works still consistently getting about 30% less shots than the original one. I also have another 3rd party battery which I bought used from a fellow list member. It is probably the same as the original

Dave, I've got 2 spares,used in the K10D and then the K20D. One was purchased locally at the computer store (a minolta 400 variant?) and the other thru ebay. They seem not to last as long as my Pentax battery - maybe 50-70% as long. But the price was way less, probably 1/3rd. I'll get spares

The Impact battery I bought from BH with my K10D 2 years ago is fine, though it consistently gives me about 20% fewer shots than the Pentax battery. All third party batteries are not created equal. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW --- On Tue, 6/16/09, David J Brooks pentko...@gmail.com
