Just bought it in Bangkok 4 month ago.
I'm using it with 4 GP 2700 and 2000 rechargable batteires.
Seems like after several hours (even if its off) the batteries are dead.
The batteries are pretty new (at least the 2700).
Anyone knows about such problem ?
Thanks,
Menta.
If it flattens 2 sets of batteries even when it's off I think the problem is with the camera (but see my last 2 sentences).
However, I've been surprised how quickly it seems to run out a set of 2500mAh batteries, and noticed that a set of 7dayshop 2800 mAh cells seems to last 3 or 4 times as long. Unless your 2000 mAh cells are Eneloop or Hybrio cells I would expect them to be gasping after a handful of quick shots - but be aware that they will recuperate after a few minutes.
Skimp on reviewing shots on the LCD and they may last quite a bit longer.
Personally I'd give up on the 2000 mAh cells
Have you tested each of the 2700 batteries individually? There could be a problem with one of the batteries, and the other 3 would be OK but are losing out when trying to cope with a dying cell.
