Been playing with it for a week now. The battery life is amazing! So far, it has only gone down one bar out of 3!!! I may only need to recharge this thing every other week or once per month.
But I am loving this camera. I do need to get used to it cause it is very different than a point and shoot. Focusing is on the lens, automatic and manual just like the old film ones. I won't need a new body but will only need to change lenses...when I can afford them. :bigteeth:
The macro mode is excellent even though I was not using a tripod and not using a macro or zoom lens.
