I don't know what someone wants to call "acceptable" all I know is what's workable and doable and having spare batteries with me is something I'm only recently gotten used to not doing. If I did it before can do it again. Most companies the reason why you wait six months and not get a new product just out are these very reasons. In six months this battery issue will have been dealt with there is too much money at stake. It could even just be a firmware fix. Just buy another battery. And another recharger. It could be those batteries will start working better after they've been discharged and then charged a few times This reminds them that they are batteries. When they are young they get distracted and forget. Worse case scenario is you have to buy the camera again in a year when they get it right. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: John McMaster <john at chiaroscuro.co.nz> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:30:07 +1300 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] X-Pro1 preview > > You think in this day and age that 55 photos/battery is acceptable?
