A "mere" six thousand frames. In reality, I got over 6520 from this battery before it quit. :) Didn't have time to take a pic of the screen again since I was in the middle of a shoot.

Yes, this is the STOCK battery and this was after a few assignments. Timespan of about 4 days. I have two of these batteries and their performance is similar.

Good stuff!
