And this is not all just rationalization. I really, really like this camera. The battery life, though, is not what I'm use to, after years of shooting with an SLR, and I think this is partly because, I'm always using live view. Either on the LCD screen or the electronic viewfinder, and that's a battery drain that an SLR doesn't have. But also, this camera simply has a physically smaller battery than an SLR.
