I went to a horse racing track today with my X-Pro2. I used the 100-400mm for the most of the afternoon and also the 35mm F2.0. After nine races I got 670 pics and the battery still have 29 % left. The specs says 250 pics with EVF. I used EVF all the time, Continous, zone focus and 8 fps. Have you guys same experience or do I have some kind of super battery (I am using the standard battery that came with the camera)

Stated battery life takes account of focusing/composition time, some use of flash, standby time and chimping using the LCD. In other words normal use.

If you shoot in continuous mode, you cut down a lot on the proportion of all of those things per shot, so you get more shots.

My Nikon hardly used any power when shooting events. I could shoot 1000 frames and still have all bars on the meter. If walking around on vacation, 200 shots would use up 1 bar easily,
