I only made the move to digital three years ago (with a hand me down from the partner)
i can say two years ago i was using the digital more, and now it is rare i would use the films (unless it was something unique and a landscape), i still get away with one 8gb card for a full day (where others make full use of the "free" photos digital gives)
i just thought it odd now that the turning point seems to be coming (where the colours on digital are a fair match for film)
I got my Canon 1000D last year and have taken around 50 pics of my cat and thats about it. lolz.
I have taken some others but I havent used it much.
How does that effect the battery on the camera ?
Should i charge it every few months or is it ok to just leave it ?
How long will the battery retain the charge ?
