I'll be shooting in Tibet, away from access to electricity, for about eight days at a stretch. I'm trying to figure out how many batteries I should carry to cover my shooting for those days. How quickly does the Canon 5D drain the battery while shooting? What about backing up? It seems that "battery/shot" would need to include battery usage in downloading from the flash each day.Thanks![a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=95290\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Shooting in the balmy tropics, I average about 400 frames per charge on my 5D. I rarely chimp as the LCD is too dim too see in Hawaii's sunlight.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=95709\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Just for my information, what's the precise definition (and origin, if known) of "chimp"?Jeremy[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=95738\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
