I've shot around 200 photos with my D70, and have charged the battery several times. I can get 200 shots per charge easily, but I've noticed a problem when the camera sits idle.

I can go out, shoot 20 shots, turn the camera off, then leave the camera 8-10 hours. The battery is dead when I return. Is this normal?

I'm shooting with an older Sandisk 256 MB CF card.

Any suggestions/advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
