Deltic,
Do you turn the camera off between shots or do you let the "Auto Power Off" kick in, or have you set it to a high value 30minutes or OFF?
Auto Power Off possibly leaves the processor and CCD in a low power mode so will continue to drain power but will allow it to come back on quicker.
It's set to turn off after 2 or is it 3 minutes?Deltic,

I'll try not to get paranoid about battery life!!! Perhaps it is because as a child I used to eke as much life as possible out of (expensive to me) batteries by warming them on a heater...
