I try to avoid flash photography, and don't do much in-camera review.

What say y'all?

Using 2500 AA NiMH, I was able to do over 1600 shots in continuous mode, with 200 in flash, on my K200D . Admittedly the LCD was not used much. It was just a battery test. I stopped after I exhausted four 2 GB cards and the battery indicator was still full.
I would say indeed that Pentaxs' estimates are conservative.
