I read they now have batteries that last a lot longer.....is it the battery or the camera not using so much power? Will they be making all batteries like it....i dont suppose so

Anyone bought a cheap one off ebay that is shipped in from the east...are they any good?

And I would not buy a 1GB microdisc again....had nothing but problems with it. Hadrly ever opens first time, requiring a shuffle through settings before it can be used. Just bought a Compact Flash 1gb card...I hope it performs better....

Aye - very cold weather aside, the battery on our D70 lasts for ages.

I can't be more accurate, but to give an idea, when we were on our munnyhoon in Africa I wandered around all day from about 5 or 6 in the morning with the camera on* in case of sudden wildlife until about 10 or 11 in the evening. So that's about 18 hours no probs - it lasted easily.

(* Actually using it a lot too, of course!)

Dunno how much longer it would've lasted coz we always recharged it at nite to be on the safe side. recharge only takes 2-3 hours (tops) I think.
