No surprise that Thom Hogan had a Z8 prior to release. He's reporting his findings, in a series of posts: including real-world battery life
Yep, I'll continue to believe that CIPA is nonsense if you care about anything other than internet camera wars.
No, not nonsense if you keep it in context. You need to be aware of the CIPA protocol for testing. In that sense it serves as a decent (not perfect ) comparator of battery life. Since it is highly unlikely that your shooting style matches the testing protocol you need to understand that you will get a very different shot count in different use cases.
In that context it is a very useful metric.
i'm afraid as a metric it is out of band and out of date as cameras become more complex. the test have to become more tailored. there is more involved than battery draw it needs to be the draw at different states of setup. there is no one deciding metric
