I think I've solved the D600's high battery use when turned off. Before sending it in to Nikon, I wanted some proper numbers to give them, so I removed the external battery pack and put the freshly charged original battery into the camera. After 24 hours it was still at 97%, which points to the external battery pack as the problem. Don't know why yet, but it will be removed for idle time.

Have some recollection of this with a D200 external battery pack, I think it was either Jan from Scotland or Arctic Rick who suffered the issue, I think who ever it was tried two with similar results.

I think you are correct Robert.
I remember this discussion about the battery life on the D200.

For long exposure, consider the car key-sized remote shutter release (<USD 15) as well as there's no cable to mess with during exposure.

OK..... Pulled the trigger.
The D600 should be delivered to the house in the UK this week with any luck.

Very interesting camera.
The D600 design is more of a D7100 that is FX rather than a D800 with less MPs.

I knew the specifications said it had less MPs and there was no 10pin socket but apart from that it is smaller and lighter than my D700 or D800 and provides what looks like a very nice image. I hope that I will get a chance to really test it here in UK (weather permitting - it has been grey skies and rain today) in the next few weeks.

Aww Jonathan, the camera arrived just in time for my birthday!!! :-) Just post it up to me in Scotland and I'll make sure it gets a good test drive. Been nice and sunny here for that last few days! ;-)

Happy Birthday for your next.
Well I would have put it in the post to you Judith but it didnt like the prospect of going North. It will be flying south to warmer climes as soon as I get my passport back.

Went out today to the coast as it is the first sunny day in the last five days.
I'm off to Westonbirt Arboretum to do some photos of the trees there with Robert on Monday, weather permitting, otherwise we will watch the rain fall from the pub.
