it's simple

Really: A second camera should not require a second set of "energy supply paraphernalia" (spares, chargers, cables). Sony and Nikon have figured this out. Olympus hasn't. I don't know about the others.

Or more specifically, they are too specific.

For example, wanting to use the same battery. Why?

Most people would answer they only want to carry a single charger. And in these days of airline restriction on weight and even limits on lithium batteries, there is some sense in that.

But what if they had a battery life of 4 weeks or say, 4,000 shots, and what if that 4,000 shot camera had a built in battery that couldn't be changed.

Is your requirement actually about carrying batteries, because this is something you enjoy doing, or more about your camera having power.
