Yeah that's what I was wondering.
I definitely don't think I REALLY need it. I read the battery the camera comes with is super long lasting anyway, and I don't mind turning my wrist.

That's actually how I've always pronounced it lol. xD

Quoting kuhlaynuh.:" you have the 1.8, don't you? you should shoot with both for the same shot, and come back and show us how they compare.  "

Good idea. I'll do it after I eat.

I agree! Even if I go somewhere and take pictures all day my batter will last FOREVER on my T3. Like I usually charge it every 3 weeks or so.

The battery life on my markii would definitely not last me 3 weeks without charging, not at the rate I shoot lol, but I can pretty much shoot a whole 6 hours on it without switching so that's pretty good.

The battery in my D3k is smurf. Like seriously I can't wait to get my new camera. I have 3 batteries for my D3k and I'm changing them once a week   And that's not even with heavy to moderate use.

Lol yeah I have no idea why but my camera has only died on my once since I've had it. I rarely ever actually charge it. I usually only charge it when we're going somewhere, like the zoo, Disneyland, or on a family trip. Other than that I never really have to charge it.

Do you have a setting where it turns the camera off if you forget after a certain time? I tend to forget quite a lot and I think that's the reason it never really dies on me.

Not sure. I'll make sure to set it on the new one  

Remember Madi. Let the battery drain completely and then charge it full and that way it'll be better for the battery.

Really? I thought that was an urban myth  

Quoting L☮J:" Really? I thought that was an urban myth  "

I used to think that too but I did it with my current camera and I'd say I'm doing pretty good as far as battery life goes lol.

Hmm...well...I guess I'll start doing that then.
