Exposures with BP200

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

does anybody know how many exposures or films you get with 4 AA batteries in the battery pack BP200 for EOS 300.

THat depends on a number of factors:

1 - Brand of battery 2 - Type of battery 3 - Autofocus or manual focus 4 - Use of focus tracking 5 - IS or non-IS lenses 6 - Using built-in flash 7 - Amount of 'focus assist' use 8 - How long you keep the shutter 'half depressed' 9 - Temperature

All these factors affect battery life, some more than others. Depending on your specific use you might get twice as many shots out of one set compared to another.

how does it compare with the two 3V CR2 lithium batteries. if i use new set of alkaline batteries, how much exposure will i loose had i been using CR2 lithium batteries under the situation. i just need a rough estimate. according to the manual of EOS 300, it says that i can have 16 rolls of 14 exposures with 50% built-in flash usage. how does this compares with that of 4 AA alkaline (or any better batteries).

Also whats the price of new BP200 (or PB200, i guess both are one and the same). on the canon's official site the price is 4500 Japanese Yens ( approx. 34 USD). but at my local shop i was told 69 Euros (approx. 60 USD).
