Hey guys, this isn't just me making a random brag statement, I'm hoping it will get us all better battery life. I get a crazy amount of frames out of my XT2. With the battery grip loaded, I get no less that 1500 frames with more than a full battery free afterwards. My opinion on why I get very very good battery life, two things: I use EVF ONLY mode. So no automation needed to turn the EVF on, and also turn the camera off after every shot(s) as a reflex, then instantly on as I raise the camera to shoot again. I find it faster than Sensor Activated EVF and have never missed a shot. I think in a sentence, you can get fantastic battery usage from the XT2 if you keep it off when it's point blank unnecessary to be on. I think my last wedding was 1700 frames on one set of batteries. With PLENTY power left to continue. 12 hours later!
