And my M's are used regularly every week. Luiz, I bet if you have been having a battery problem it's because as I said before, when you put the camera away it has been constantly draining the battery due to pressure on the shutter release. It doesn't take much. And you can kill them very quickly this way, making it look like there is a problem with the camera. But if you can have the test done properly, then you'll feel much happier knowing it isn't the camera. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
