I put my (2100) NIMH batts in around 200 shots ago - still showing full on the camera! This is with around 20% using the flash as wireless controller. Before that the original 2 CR whatevers had taken about 400 and still showed full. I don't hold back on viewing the shots on screen either - the kids always want to see the pic right after I have taken it!
