RE: OT - Digital Cameras

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

I would assume that battery consumption (when using the LCD) is around the
same as the S20. If so then forget going on holidays, you need two
batteries
full stop!

I seem to remember paying 25 quid for a second battery when I bought my
s20.
I know Mark found a source for third party batteries, but one of them went
tits up on arrival!
