Hi Mark,
Not everybody in this group has access to cheap batteries; anyway,
Murphy's law has it that batteries will fail when you have no spares, you're in
the middle of a shoot, and in the back of beyond.
With my 4 OM bodies, the batteries usually last for years, but obviously that
is not everybody's experience.
It's still better to have a body that doesn't use batteries like they are going
out of fashion, IMHO.
