How do you do this, Eric?  Like Doug, I get about 100 - 130 shots per 
battery/charge - with moderate "chimping" & deleting.  I do, however, 
turn off the LCD's "review" feature, which is both annoying and a 
waste of  battery power.  I carry two 2 gig cards, and 2 batteries, 
which is normally enough for me, for a day.
