Re: 760D battery life - is it really only 440 shots?

I don't know, but my Canon T2i (550D) camera is rated at 440 shots and I've gotten about 550 images at parades and it still was going strong.  I use the viewfinder and chimp a lot (view each image in the LCD very frequently).  I've never had to worry about it since I often use two or three cameras at a time.  I won't take more than about 900 pictures in a day anyway, at least I haven't so far.  If I travel on vacation, I just bring a charger with me and I sometimes bring back more than a thousand pictures.  There's never been a battery issue.  If I thought that I did want to take more pictures in a day, then I would just buy another backup battery.  I have heard that there's some good third-party batteries available but I can't remember the brand.
