My Nikon D2H on a full charge gets close to 500 jps,even though Nikon
and Moose Peterson claim 1200 or so.Ichimp every equine shot, so that
may hurt it alot. I have 2 batteries,so i'm good for 1000 pictures.
My D200 takes an En-3a battery whuch is supposed to get 700-800 per,
but i have not had it long enough to test.
If i get the grip for it, it takes two en=3a's or 8 AA's.
My istD never gets anymore than 200 or so on rechargables and maybe
700 on Liths.Again i chimp a lot

Quoting Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
On 30/4/06, Joseph Tainter, discombobulated, unleashed:
Don't the Nikon and Canon models take only proprietary
rechargeable batteries? I consider that a fatal flaw, not least
because sometimes I work in the northern Sahel, where there is
no electricity. I hope Pentax keeps their current DSLR battery
options in the new models.
Quite a few Canons use the BP-511 or similar:

1D series use the NP-E3

Personally I have 2 NP-E3s and a Quantum Turbo 2X2 which will also power
the camera (simultaneously with the flash) if necessary. I didn't quit
Pentax digital because of batteries, but if the *ist D had been released
at the same time as the D60, it would have been the nail in the coffin
for me. I wanted to get away from AA's.
YMMV
Cheers,
Cotty
