My D70 goes a couple hundred shots before one bar disappears from the battery display.
Well, I took several hundred pictures. Just fooling around
And I was using the flash. And live view. I think that's what killed it - you can use the LCD as a viewfinder. It does heat the sensor up and you get some noise (aside from killing the battery). Something to use occasionally, but not all the time.
A friend is loaning me a 100-400L , 70-300 and 10-22 to play with over the weekend.
