Battery Life for 7HI

[Bummie]

Hi all 7hi users

How long does the batteries last for your 7HI?

For me, Sanyo 2100 mhz last abt 2.5 hrs.....using auto focus and lcd and evf.

Is this normal?? Just doing a survey to make sure i was not sold a faulty camera.

Thanks

2 set of 2100 batteries last around 90+ shots on evf + external flash. some viewing from the lcd and delete ard 5 pics...go home still can connect to computer and copy all file. using microdisk 1G and shotting at raw.
in the end still have power left...

For me, i also use LCD all the time and my 1850 Sanyo batts can last abt 2.5 hrs continious shooting too. Hav not tried my 2100 batts yet.

it takes a while before the batteries reach potential. results will probably improve by quite a lot after maybe 8-10 rounds of charging and use.

My 1850 don't last 2.5 hours that long. Seems a bit weird.
