Battery last longer in comparison

[Jethro77278]

Has anyone here test the battery consumption rate for the E-10 vs E-20.
Assuming all the parameters are similar.

I read that the E-20 could shoot more than 100 pics with alkakline batteries and I wonder if it is true.

Thanks.

Connect a multimeter in line with the AC adapter input, this will give you a current reading, you can then test the camera under various conditions and see what the drain is, and compare the two.

I don't want to upset you, but why on earth would you want to use alkalines in any E-xx camera? Even at 100 pics per set of 4, your per shot cost is going to be much higher than with rechargeables. My $0.02

Thanks but I am actually trying to determine the uptime of the rechargerables as in a real time consumption. What I mean is that if 4 alkalines can last 100 over pics than it will definitely be much better with the re-chargerables, right? Then a powerpack may not be necessary on the E-20.

Ah, I understand. You see...

T*(N1 + N2) = S

Where:

T = Time
N1 = Number of 7&7s I've consumed
N2 = Number of Barenjager shots I've consumed
S = My level of stupidity

Fortunately, we haven't reached the upper density threshold for this particular formula as of yet, but T remains a relatively low value and, therefore, the resulting potential for Nx and, consequently, S is still quite high.

Jethro, I posted several days ago that I put Duracell Ultra Batteries in my E-20 left my instant review on and shot 304 pictures doing a test. Do a search under my name and you will see the post.

rayovac alkaline rechargeables in my e20 only lasted 20 shots.

I wonder if there is more battery usage then in the 20 (this is DEFINITELY not my forte LOL). I easily fill a 256 MB CF card with the Rayovac batteries (I have the 10). I don't use the review (do double click about 30% I guess) and don't use the LCD.
