Hi folks
For the few of you that have had your hands on the NEX-5, what was the battery life like when taking video?? I'm hoping it isnt flat after 1 hour of footage, 2 hours and I'll be happy.

Cheers
Dave

Was 93% charged on handover. I took approximately 135 RAW+JPEG images (some were deleted, so a few more than this) and 12.5 minutes of video, and of course reviewed a few images and played with menus - but not too much. This completely exhausted the battery, and used 3.6 GB on the supply 4 GB card leaving about 400MB spare after overheads.
