Reciprocity Posted March 16, 2018 Share #21 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Digital is film without the mess of chemical developing. Disagree, one is an electronic interpretation of a physical and causative image and the other is the same physical projected image onto an analog recording medium. I have decades of experience in using both so I stand firmly on this especially considering I still use both and it is far from messy by the way. As far as your projection of what battery life is best for who I can only imagine was the poster right above you, it comes off as high order and one size fits all. I know I would shoot a lot more than 80 pictures in Portugal, some may shoot less, again, not one size fits all. Lets try to all be a little more open minded and less burst in the door with our renown expertise and make this a more pleasant exchange for everyone shall we? Have a nice evening everyone!

jaapv Posted March 16, 2018 Share #22 Posted March 16, 2018 Actually, the sensor is the analog medium - it needs ADC to be able to produce a digital signal from the variable output per pixel, whereas film is made up of crystals that are either activated by light or not, a digital phenomenon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamboat Posted March 20, 2018 Share #24 Posted March 20, 2018 I would need a butler if I have to carry spare batteries as well as everything else! Butler? Try this from ThinkTank. The M battery fits altho tight the first time you put it in. https://www.thinktankphoto.com/collections/battery-holders/products/cf-sd-battery-wallet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted March 21, 2018 Share #25 Posted March 21, 2018 Yes, the butler could definitely manage that as well as a pot of tea and some china cups. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted March 24, 2018 Share #28 Posted March 24, 2018 I use a drawstring pouch which came with spare buttons with a pair of jeans as battery bag. Welcome, dear visitor!

Exodies Posted April 12, 2018 Share #31 Posted April 12, 2018 I’m not sure it would be such a good thing - think of all your preferences, hand them over to someone else to manage, inform them whenever you change your mind or something overrides the normal flow of things - I think you would get worse service than doing it yourself and probably get stuck in ruts you didn’t intend.

sblutter Posted April 13, 2018 Share #32 Posted April 13, 2018 I just got back from a long trip, shot well over 2000 images - battery never got below 50% in a given day. Rotated btwn 2 batteries just b/c it felt sensible to do so - could have managed with just 1 To me, impressive and one less thing to worry abt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomas Posted April 13, 2018 Share #33 Posted April 13, 2018 Every time I read discussions about the battery-life I got the impression that batteries in the USA must be much better then the stuff I got here in Europe. There it seemed to be no probleme to get 1000 and up to 2000 pics. I never managed to get more then 400-500 pictures out of one battery. On a busy day I always need at least 1 1/2 batteries. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using EVF or LV? The 1000 number is only possible in RF mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomas Posted April 16, 2018 Share #35 Posted April 16, 2018 Normaly I only use the optical rangefinder with classic metering. Camera is set to fall to sleep after 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted April 16, 2018 Share #36 Posted April 16, 2018 10 min is much for the battery. The M10 needs the most power just beeing on. You can test it: Set Auto off to never and wait. After a few hours the battery is empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomas Posted April 16, 2018 Share #37 Posted April 16, 2018 If the startup from the camera wouldn't be that slow I would more often turn it off. But so I would miss to many pics. On the other hand I didn't wake up the camera every 10 minutes. If there is nothing to photograph it stays in sleep-mode. And this can last for days without a significant loss off battery-power, as I tested.But here are several people that claimed that about 1000 exposures are possible with one battery. To me it looks, like all that claimed that are in the U.S. Wonder what they do, to get this working? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted April 17, 2018 Share #38 Posted April 17, 2018 Do you have auto review on or off? If off how often to you review images on the LCD? With no auto review and rare use of manual review the battery can last a long time. I have a 262 so live view isn't a battery issue for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomas Posted April 17, 2018 Share #39 Posted April 17, 2018 I've set the camera to auto-review only if I keep the release-button pressed. So I can spontaneously decide to have a look if necessary. But that's not so often. Guess at least 5% or less of the pictures taken. And then I normaly only look a second or two on it, just to check the highlights.

lct Posted April 17, 2018 Share #40 Posted April 17, 2018 I would set auto review to off and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
