But whether or not one has a client limit on film, there's a photographer limit on how many frames one will logically shoot. And again I'd say it would be pretty damn unusual to shoot 1000 frames per hour, over the course of a day - unless one is just holding down the shutter release and leaving it down. The one real exception to this I could think of would be spending a day shooting high-speed sequences, of sports for example. And if one was doing that, one wouldn't be using an M. Again, I agree that 500 shots is pretty minimal battery life - but it's not really limiting as all one has to do is switch batteries.:-) On 9/27/06 5:20 PM, "Chris Saganich" <chs2018@med.cornell.edu> wrote: > B.D. > > I often accompany my wife on her dance shoots.
