I have never counted; but I do know that I always take a spare battery with me when ever I take my camera to events....only once have I run-out of battery 'juice' needing to change the battery...probably after 600 plus shots.soooo, I would recommend the battery. I hope this helps. Joel/MrG

Don't know but the battery was in the camera case a couple of months and when I went to use it, it didn't last long. Need to charge up just before planned use!

I don't take the time to use the camera as often as I would like to but, my Girlfriend recently went to Europ and was abel to take over 300 picts on one charge and I still have not had to switch to my spare battery.

I have taken over 600 photos easily with this battery fully charged. I actually get more photos taken from this battery than with the original oem battery.

I have had no problems with this battery. I shoot sports pictures. I typically take 200 to 300 at a time. This battery and the one that came with the camera have both preformed flawlessly. I have one in the camera and one fully charged in the bag. When I get home and edit the pictures before posting I also swap the batteries and recharge the battery I just removed from the camera. I have zero experience with using my SLR camera for video. Probably 400 pictures would be okay from my experience. If this is a replacement, and you typically take 400 - 800 in a one day shoot, Then your level of use is enough to warrant buying two batteries and feeling secure. Good Luck.

Using enerzer batteries it last up to 5-6 months depending on number of pictures taken.

Great! We have used the camera for over 100 pictures over a few hours all in one charge. I usually charge it after an event just out of habit, but so far the battery has not been dead to need it. I bought an extra battery but have not used it. Hope this helps.

Buy the ultra lithium batteries and it'll go up to six months, depending on how you set the picture interval. Just buy a big memory card for amount of recording time

well you certainly should be able to take 100 pics but not having taken that many at once I wouldn't hazard a guess beyond but battery life is like most cameras and with taking a lot of pics battery life would go down and I have found this on many cameras I have owned

Nearly 100 pics in normal settings ,with a fully charged battery. And with a 16GB you can take 4000 pics.

Good long time. I don't take too many pics at one time, maybe 10 max. If I don't take any for a while, the battery is still good two months later. Then I re-charge just to be sure.

I have 2 batteries all i can say is that each battery took over 1800 pictures and they each lasted 1 month 1 week then I brought them back home to recharge them.....they take almost 16 hrs to recharge...yes they are 12 volt

I use rechargeable batteries. How long they last seems to be a function of how many pictures i take over a short period of time. When I take abot 20 pictures and then don't use the camera for 4 months, it still has the battery juice for another 50 pics. I did run out it one day after about 425 pics however. I have solved this issue by always taking a fully charged set of batteries with the camera set. Hope this helps.

Not sure. I like it I had the same camera for a year and a half and I took about 7000 pictures. I it was getting a little loose on the knob for changing settings and the battery door had to be taped shut so I bought a new one

LOTS!! I used it to do ebay and only had to recharge about once a week, and would shoot about 1000 pictures between charges.

You camera sounds like it is defective. I use lithium batteries and, although, I have never counted I believe I have gotten several hundred photos and/or several minutes of movies on one set of batteries (but I always carry spares, just in case).

With AA alkaline expect 25-35 pictures depending on how often you check the pictures you have taken, how often you use the flash and how often you zoom in and out. Terrible experience. I am now trying lithium AA batteries and hoping to get a lot more. It is a terrific camera if I can only get a lot more pictures from the batteries

I'm not sure what you're asking here. If you want to know how many pictures you can take, that depends on how big of a memory card you are using and has nothing do with the camera. If you are wanting to know about battery life, the d3 battery can last for up to 4,300 pictures between charges. If you are wanting to know about the number of pictures already taken (shutter count) of the camera being sold, you should contact the seller directly instead of posting it here because it will be different for each camera. However, DO NOT buy this camera from Wall Street Photo. They are asking for 5 times what the camera is worth!

Yes i have the same camera. To make a long story as short as possible upper end cameras like this one just flat out require stronger batteries. No question. I bucked up and bought Lithium batteries and they last very long. At first I didn't like the expense, but when you think of how many pictures you can take and how long they last and what that $ amount averages out to it is a good deal for a good camera. I bought a pack of 12 8x Lithium from a store for 20.99. That averaged 1.75 per. I can get at least 600 shots and some video shots as well at the lower end HD video setting which still gives great video. The batteries have a shelf like of 15 years fully charged. 10 years for the 6x Lithium. I take about 200 pictures per month on average (give or take) so two batteries lasts me about 3 months for my use. That averages about 1.00 per month for the best battery. Not bad. This camera will die after 20-40 shots with a standard cheap-0 Alkaline battery. IF you want to use a cheaper battery then you should buy a cheaper camera that does not require as much power. That is the bottom line. I looked at Cannon, Sony, and several other cameras and they all had the same problem if you bought their upper end camera that used replaceable batteries....Hope this helps.....

depends on how many flashes, it last a little bit more than one day usage for normal usage, like 100 pictures.

I found the battery lasted all day - taking around 200-250 shots, with perhaps a dozen or so also with flash. I would assume it would last a bit less with more flash use, but I was fine with how long it lasted. I plan on getting another battery just for backup, but for most folks, one battery should be fine.
