Canon's spec for the 5D says 800 shots at 20 degrees C and 400 at 0
degrees C. I've never paid really close attention but my guess is that
I probably get about half of that due to lots of chimping and histogram
viewing. I always carry a spare battery but never needed to use it
during the trip as I would recharge every night if the camera has seen
any significant usage. I think I have changed the battery once during a
very long wedding and reception (probably about 400-500 images) but I
can't recall if that was necessity or prudence.
