Battery life in general is ok, it keeps up for several hundred shots ...
my only battery disaster is when I leave it plugged in the computer after a download. The auto shut down never shuts down and by morning it's dead.
This is what I really didn't like about my *ist D. 'cause the batteries cost me $15 bucks every time this happened or some obscene amount, and I manage to do it regularly. the K10 has a rechargable battery so I just keep a spare or two around and have never had a battery go dead except when left plugged in.
