>>That was a reassuring test on Clik!'s battery life. While 6 minutes would be pretty pitiful for a flashlight or boombox, the essential point is that it retains enough power to download about 540 images. That equates to over 40 rolls of film - more than adequate for even the most ambitious hobbyist.<< Zak - It's also important to note that the battery life tests done by Lipo aren't just testing the Clik! mechanism's battery drain. The Clik! for digital cameras batteries also have to power the flash memory reader and the chips used in transferring the data. Probably not a huge difference, but it is something. If you added a Clik! drive to a digital camera, you would only have the motor itself as an additional item to power. - Allen
