![]() After that, AA's in DSLR's are dead to me. One atypical usage for me had over 900 exposures in -10C, each 1 second long (time lapse) on one charge. Even after 4 years, the original lasts absurdly long, generally a few weeks or even a month on a charge. I have a 3rd party spare and the original that came with the camera. I now have a k5iis with the D-Li90 and cannot ever imagine using anything with a lesser battery. Non-rechargeable lithiums perform much better, but are costly in the long run. ![]() In cold weather, it would be a fumbly mess as I struggled to keep a warm set to cycle into the camera. "Battery management" was a thing as I tried to keep my batteries refreshed and working optimally to keep the camera running. The performance was ok, and would gradually go down as the months passed. I started with a k100d, using eneloops (originally the standard "white ones", then later the high capacity XX ones) along with a smart charger. Your suggestion of the K-70 is well received, although, in truth, because of the k-mount lenses I already have, the lure of the full frame model (K-1) is very strong (gulp!!!). I do have the means to get the more expensive cameras but past experience with my film cameras has been that I can still get lots of pleasure from the cheaper models. My instincts at the moment are to go slowly on my decision. ![]() I have had such great responses to my request for advice! Pentax K-1 - Pentax Camera Comparison - Thank you so very much for your response! What a great tool that appears to be. Cameras that support a battery grip can take 6x AAs via the grip, or a D-Li90. Yes, all the advanced models launched since 2010 use the D-Li90, while the entry-level/intermediate models use the D-Li109. You can go back to the very first digital model if you want This comparison tool lets to see what power source(s) each model supports. However, if that is outside of your budget, I would strongly recommend the K-70 as that camera's performance simple makes it an amazing value for the money. As the rechargeable batteries (especially the D-Li90) last longer, my recommendation would be to go for a camera that uses that battery, such as the K-3 II (ASP-C) or K-1 (full-frame). There are no current models that support AAs as a main power source (the most recent camera to do so was the K-50, via the D-BH109 adapter). AA batteries will still be around for decades. Those might have info on whether the camera uses AA batteries with or without a gripĪs a second question, if I were to throw off my dinosaur mantle, and to accept that I must use lithium battery in a new camera, is there any commonality between the lithium batteries that are used in the various models of Pentax digital SLRs? I am concerned about the future availability of the various lithium batteries. Likewise if you go up to " Cameras " you will find info on various Pentax camera bodies ![]() Grips (Genuine Pentax) - Pentax Camera Accessory Review Database If you go up to " Accessories " above and click " Grips " you will find info on accessory battery grip including which ones take AA batteries Is there a table or list anywhere that shows Pentax digital SLR/AA battery compatibility (with or without adapter)?Īs a second question, if I were to throw off my dinosaur mantle, and to accept that I must use lithium battery in a new camera, is there any commonality between the lithium batteries that are used in the various models of Pentax digital SLRs? I am concerned about the future availability of the various lithium batteries. I would appreciate any advice on how to plan my purchase. I am very comfortable with the idea of using AA batteries and know from my initial research that there are some older models of Pentax digital SLRs that either take AA batteries directly or via an adapter. I am in a Pentax film SLR user and am in the initial phases of planning to buy a Pentax digital SLR. ![]()
