Hi guys,

I am wondering how is the battery perform for K-7 video shooting, how long can it go for a fresh battery to keep shooting video? I saw ppl use the 5D2 for wedding video and I am wondering how it do with K-7.

Thanks

Well, I still have to do my testing.

Filling a 8GB card with 720p video (about 26:10 min) didn't show up on the battery meter (still showed three bars afterwards). My gut feeling is that one battery would be good for 1 hour of video. But don't quote me on this.

Maybe you can get a better response from somebody who has tested it.

I have not checked to see how many GB of videos I could do on a single charge but it's more than I expected. I thought I would need the battery grip but now I don't think I need it. I will get a spare battery so I will always have one charged.
