Originally posted by Lucky Sky Disregard their silly complaint about battery life. The testers were using alkaline batteries. My 2700 mah Powerex rechargable NiMH batteries are over 400 shots in the camera and still going strong.
I actually use CRV3s and am up to 700 odd and still going on the first set.. Going on the D I would think I should get over 1000.. Will report back when they finally run out ;-0
To the OP, I went from man FZ20 to the DS and it was a major upgrade IMO, don't iss the pana at all.. Since then I got a D and K100d, and would heartedly recommend the K100d..
