Battery Life NEX cameras
I have a NEX 5K for a year now.
Purchased an extra battery soon after getting the camera. Just returned from 3 week in Africa and prior to leaving purchased another battery. This gave me 2 while on game drives and one back in camp charging.
Most of the time, the battery lasted for 8 hours of of the 2 game drives. Only twice did I have to swap batteries during a game drive.
No power at night to charge the batteries.
Most of my photography is stills not movies.
No matter what camera you own, digital photography uses battery power. One should have no less than 2 batteries to insure you have power during your days picture taking.

The life is too short.
The battery can not last one day use.But you have no other choice.

PRE-CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USE
i am only writing to warn people to pre charge batteries before first use. i dont know if some people do or do not do this but all batteries should be charged to its optimal level before the first use this is important to overall batter life, and charge capacitance. some people forget and have complained that the batter is useless or terrible.
IF you do this first and the batter is still not up to its optimal level then you can complain.
