    What kind of battery life can I expect from a FZ190? Does the large capacity battery upgrade make a significant difference? Thank you for the help.

    According to Sony, the large capacity battery could last up to 3.5-11 hours...but I'm pretty sure that that's unrealistic. They guy I talked to at Sony Style said up to six hours with the extended capacity battery, but I think that even that is a bit much. IMO, you'd be lucky to get 3.5 hours with it. One reviewer got only 80 minutes with the standard battery. I get mine on the 28th, so I can't comment for real until then.
