[QUOTE="Mister Bumbles, post: 385892, member: 34301"] So, every review I have read for a Nikon D610 *claims* 900+ shots per charge. I fully charged my battery when I first got the camera, and only managed 225 shots. :eyetwitch: I shot in RAW, with VR turned on, and only used the LCD a little to check exposure a few times. About 25 of the images had the flash turned on default levels. The battery is being charged again, and then I'll see what happens on the next charge, but it seems like I should have gotten far more shots. Is there some sort of break-in period for Nikon batteries? :confused: My 7-year-old Canon 40D managed around 1,000 shots per charge, with image stabilization turned on, in raw. I only used the ONE battery for that entire 7 years and even when I sold it a couple weeks ago, it still would manage around 800-900 shots per charge. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
