How many shutter counts are you getting out of each battery? Is there a rule of thumb range?

I thought I recall something like 200 charges? You know what, I'm not sure. Now you have me interested in the answer.

Are you asking how many shots per charge or how many total shots before you need to replace the battery completely?

In the meantime:
The answer to the first can depend on use of flash, use of auto features and temperature.

The answer to the second could be a big variable based on temperature, conditions, and other factors for any camera. I know I have an original battery in my Canon XT from about 2005-06 that is still going strong after very heavy use.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Since 2005? That battery is 7 years old?! That is awesome!

That is a long time for that battery. Just shows that if you take good care of something how long that these things can last.
