Henning,
         Where do you get $20 third party batteries, B&H lists a 
third party battery for $79?  I get quite a few shots on my Leica 
batteries, and I unlike most use the USB connection to download.  I 
find it is easier for a few photos than removing the baseplate and 
card.  I use dng and fine jpeg setting and the jpegs go to iphoto and 
the dngs to Lightroom.  I also download to an old PC with the cable.

Thanks for the info.
Lee
