I've had my camera for a month, and it lasts fine - On a weekend out and about I may take maybe 150 shots, and during the week I fiddle about and try out different settings in the front room, and I have only charged the camera twice in that month.... Overall I'd say easily 350-400 shots.I don't use Live View for shots, but have taken maybe 5-6 minutes of video (Which seem to eat battery & memory card!)Steve</blockquote>
