Originally posted by mattdm Can you try Lithium CRV3s in the K200D? My theory is that it's almost as fast as the K20D then.
Originally posted by Marc Sabatella The battery compartment / seals is designed such that CRV3s are not supported on the K200D. They are a little too big. I imagine you could try forcing the door closed with them, but I'm willing to risk it.
And I just got a K20d, and LBA madness has set in (again- argghhhh), so I really don't want to spend money on more batteries for the K200D
. If you'd care to add a data point,
audacity is free, and you could do you're own test.
(a great excuse to buy a Tamron 70-200/2.8 - "honey, it's for the benefit of the whole pentax community, we need this focus speed comparison...") You could do a test using different batteries using whatever lens you want, and just changing the batteries.
