When I opened it up for the first time the battery was at half charge; so I just plugged it in to fully charge. I haven't charged it since, and the charge indicator still shows 3 bars. I know that it's supposed to handle about 600 shots before battery goes out(I haven't shot nearly that much photos). I haven't really been torturing the camera, but I've taken it out for whole days of shooting a few times, and I'm just surprised that the battery still shows a full charge. Is this normal? I guess I didn't expect it to have this good of a battery life. I purchased it on june 7 and it's the 29th now and I've only charged it once.</p></blockquote><p></p>
