Another note about Canon EOS 5D Mark II battery performance

This past weekend I did something I usually do not do – I shot a wedding! My niece got married in Spokane, so I flew up there and did the wedding photographer thing. Actually, my brother and I did the photography. Fortunately, he is more experienced than I at the portrait and lighting stuff. (No, you won’t see those photos here! :-)

For those of you still trying to figure out how many Canon LP-E6 5D II batteries you might need, I shot about 650 frames using the 5D II. At the end of this process the battery level indicator still showed two of four bars.
