The 110D is definatly 4, I assume the 200D is the same.

the k200 is good with batteries, but the k20d is exceptional and you can get spare batteries from amazon i just picked up two 1500mah for the k20d for £13 delivered for both, and for the k200d i use uniross hybros at £10
for 4, so the k20d works out better and the battery life is alot better.
just keep snapping,

Well, 1.65 mAh is as measly as 2.7 mAh. If you are talking 2.7 Ah (2,700 mAh), though...
Whoops!!! I was thinking about 1.2 v at the time. It's actually 1620 mAh and I suppose it's not quite double (1.66x)

Well picked her up today

Very nice solid camera

I love how the bulk of it is exactly the same as my old K110D. So no relearning buttons/menus etc. Just a few extra features to understand. For example shake reduction, I never used to use it and never noticed any shake in my pictures, so when is it used?

Shake reduction extends by 2 or 3 stops how slow your shutter speed can be. So instead of 1/60s with a 50mm lens you can safely go to 1/15s. Useful in any hand-held situation so just keep it on unless you're on a tripod.

Be sure to wait until the icon comes on in the viewfinder. Only takes a sec, but until then the image is not stabilised.

Ahhh well I can hand hold 50mm at 1/25th without blur and if I go slower I find a makeshift tripod. Might be usefull for long range zoom tho.

Well then you'd get down to 1/6s. Adding two stops is always useful!
