browsing through craigslist showed me somethign i didn't know existed:
Sony DSC-F505 digital camera.
now don't get me wrong. i don't want this camera but for anything but a novelty. actually, i don't even really want to pay any money for it. it was new in 2000 - two years older than my Sony DSC-F717 that i just recently replaced.
the F505 is a 2.1MP camera (compare that to the 5.0MP of my F717, or the 14.2MP of my a350) :)
what i really wanted to point out was battery life. in the review of the F505, it's stated that it got an "amazing" 60 mins of shoot time with the LCD black light off (or 80 mins with the back light off).
lets compare this to my F717. they changed their standard for how the battery was tested, but in the updated test, it yielded 4 hr 02 mins.
while 4x the time wasn't regarded as "amazing" it was remarked as "very very good". btw, at the bottom of the list was Minolta DiMAGE 7 at 1 hr 14 mins, and at the top was the Olympus C-8080 WZ at 5 hr 52 mins.
amazingly i can't find any stats on my a350 other than 730 shots in OVF or 410 with live view. bleh.
ok enough rambling for now :)
