On the subject of CIPA tests -- I never paid them enough attention to judge if they're consistent across brands. Is the test uniformly pessimistic? Do some cameras bounce back better from the power challenges in the CIPA test better than others?

CIPA is only really consistent when you consider what the test is.

1) if the camera has flash it's used 50% of the time.

2) all factory default settings are used (no eco modes,etc)

3) power is recycled every 10 pictures.

4) lens is zoomed in and out.

so brand to brand may not fit that well, even really camera to camera (ie: M2's 230 shots versus the M3's 250 shots are entirely different subjective numbers - the M3 gets far more shots per battery when used in the same way as an M2).
