FWIW, when I designed a voltage regulator a couple of weeks ago so I could run my istDS off of a 9.6VDC NIMH battery pack, I found the flash is the main power hog, and the LCD is the second most power hog. Not news I guess, but if you want the longest possible life on a single battery charge, these have to be minimized in usage or better yet turned off. jco

The Impact and Konica Minolta batteries I have as well seem to last about the same amount of time. It varies a bit based on what I'm doing ... Normally I have the Review function turned off, but if I'm doing tabletop work I have the review set for maximum and use the Digital Preview with histogram quite a lot.
