I know the battery life can be extended turning off the screen and using the viewfinder fulltime. I haven't any problem with carrying a few extra batteries. Thanks you for your tips.
Also I was worried about the non weather sealed bodies for nature shots, I don't know if they can handle with the high humidity, like after rain and night shots. My main option was the D3300 because it's great and is sold in my country, Panamá. Here e haven't Pentax cameras, so, I'd like to buy it here.

I'm looking for a camera for nature photography and astrophotography. I saw a wide variety of pictures from the K-50, K-5s, K3, D3300, D5300, D5200, D7200 and a6000. Also I compared them in DxO having the Sony a7 II and the K-50 approached. Certainly there's no big difference in the cameras of today.
I was decided to buy the D7200 or the D3300; I'm not going to spend $1000 in a camera while I can buy one with two lenses at $550, so I liked the K-50. Then I saw the K-S2 and the built in Wi-Fi caught my interest. It's cheap but the same endurance of the K-50. It wouldn't be a problem if the K-S2 be capable to hold AA batteries.
I saw at Amazon a vertical battery for entry level cameras, it is a connector that inserts into the battery slot and into the grip there's a compartments for 6 AA batteries, so, I was wondering if is recommendable to use these stuffs.

I'm going to buy a camera and I saw the Pentax K-50 and it's great, then saw the Pentax K-S2 and everything was perfect till I saw the battery life of 440 shots. The K-50 lasts the same but has the optional AA battery compartment. So I was wondering if there exists any long life Pentax battery and if is good to use third party batteries.
