Adam, Mark, - I wrote: _at least_. I don't remember how many. I never really counted. I never had a chance to do more than 450-500 shots (all RAW) in a row without a break in between - and I've been cautious enough to recharge them during the breaks. And I don't remember if I needed to change the set within those 450-500 between or not, and when. - I know that I had two sets on me. I was responding to > I've given up on NiMH AA rechargeables in my *istD and gone back to > lithiums. I was getting as few as 20 shots on 8 batteries (4 in the > body and 4 in the grip) before the camera would shut down So, your numbers confirm my statement that the numbers aren't that bad. Hence, - I am not sure why people are insisting on NiMH not being reliable. (Except for not charging them just before the photoshoots.)
