Quick google search tells me that I can power a model 2 b rpi for 5 hours off of a camera battery. And you can better than an rpi for power consumption. I could be missing something here, but I used to do a lot of work that boiled down to building linux control units for machines and it genuinely isn't that difficult most of the time.
- sliverstorm 9y agoA DSLR can "sleep" with the power switch on, waiting for a shutter press for weeks. I actually have no idea how long it can go, because the drain seems to be practically zero...
- ISL 9y agoThis is an incredible feature. Coming from a mirrorless background, the ability to pull the camera from a waist pouch with a gloved hand, put it to my eye, and press the shutter has been a revelation. It is many seconds faster, making shots possible that I never would have taken with my mirrorless body.

- stordoff 9y agoI used to cover long events with my DSLR - on a single charge, I could do two back-to-back 12-hour events, taking hundreds of images at each with the camera on the entire time, and still have some charge in reserve. Five hours isn't a lot by comparison.
