Canon battery questions...

Rojo

Hey all,



just looking for a bit of advice off those in the know. Going away this weekend taking photos and was wondering if anyone knows how many RAW photographs a regular battery in a 40d would take while using a 70-200 2.8 with the IS switched on? Also, the same question while using a 40d with a battery grip!


Thanks

On average (When I'm not have relationship troubles with it) I get a whole week out of my 5D with grip and mixing the 24-70 & 70-200 with IS on. In work, you could probably say that's 1000 photos, and then probably another 500 outside of work. Using the LCD screen a lot in work too sort out the lights in the studio, and not at all outside of work.

I'd say you should be grand with 2 batteries and 1000 shots if you keep away from Live View

changing a roll of film in the rain whilst standing in the mud when you're only allowed shoot the first 90 seconds of some wannabe rock star can be a little tricky though

Fajitas!

Oh I wouldn't go to a festival to shoot the acts! There'll be hundreds of other people doing that!

Ahem... This is Electric Picnic we're talking about... right?

Just for the record and all

SOL

Not raining on anyones parade here, but if someone see's posts naming the unnamable you will probably get banned, no matter what it says at the left of your post...

Fajitas!

I never named anyone, I'm talking about Electric Picnic as clarified in my last post

SOL

and then I realised that the promotions company who shall not be named don't do electric picnic, right?

Never mind, delete as you like,

my bad :P

Fajitas!

Yep, Right, EP is promoted by Aikon & Pod Promotions, no problems with them.

No probs here, I see ye deleted one of the posts, if you want to delete the other one, is no probs.
