Indeed a great little camera.

But 400 shots out of one battery charge? I usually get about 225 shots oud of one charge.

I kid you not, my wife has often gotten ~ 400 photos on a charge. Just this weekend we went backpacking and she took 383 photos. She could have taken even more.

The big battery user is turning on and off and extending and retracting the zoom and sensor power for the camera being on and active. If you turn on camera and take 20 pictures or 2 pictures in 5 minutes, the battery usage will be roughly the same. If you power on, 1 shot, power off and repeat 100x, you might only get 100 shots per battery

it’s like I know a guy who gets 1000+ shots on his mirrorless where I get 300. It’s because he does birds and shoots everything in 10fps burst. A burst of 20 in 2 secs takes about the same as me taking 1 shot in single shot.
