- WOW!!! 300 rolls! I owned a 8008 and the maximum number of rolls I was able
- to make with a set of 4 AAs was around 20. I even did not use AF a lot. I
- really would like to meet a guy able to shot 300 rolls with a set of 4 AAs :-)
-
- Now for Canon I can tell that I would consider myself as lucky if I could shot
- 10/15 rolls with a 2CR5 battery using the build-in flash sometimes.
