I don't use Canon 1 series, mostly due to size issues. For the Canon 5D I just buy more batteries, which are about $15 here for higher capacity than the originals. Unfortunately, I doubt that Leica compatible ones will be available from the same supplier. As battery life is tied to firmware issues, I think I should keep quiet until production models are available. I had no issues with battery life, and I'm sure it will only get better. -- * Henning J.
