It depends on the demands of your picture taking pics and videos. You also need to carefully review your settings to minimize what may drain your battery more than necessary. There a number of postings on YouTube that will review settings that may help. With that being said, I'm currently placing my RX100V thru the demands of taking pics on a short vacation. Using a fully charged OEM battery and taking various pics over the past four days it's down to 1/8 charged. I know that this doesn't really help since I am not providing details on my use, however, as a vacationer and just taking what you might expect...that's about it. You may want to put it up on trial period and see what works for you. Note: Have back up batteries. I have one in camera and two fully charged backups. All are numbered. Hence, I using #1 and when that's spent I'll move to #2 (sometime today) and then have #3 the backup. Projecting the first change out I'll recharge first battery tonight. While going thru my settings and since it was on for a decent period of time the battery did get a bit warm...indicating that it was drawing a decent amount from the battery. Hence, it's not just taking shots it's what demands you place on the battery. During this vacation I am also alternating between my iPhone 6S Plus and my RX100. There are some instances where I found the ease to set focus and exposure easier by simple simply using the touch screen on my iPhone. I'm going to have to review the pics and compare. I can easily send a pic(s) to a recipient via the iPhone. I know I can upload pics from RX100 to iPhone and then to recipents...but a bit of a hassle. Then again, talking about battery drain using the iPhone will drain battery as you use it as a phone, camera and iPod....so having it charged up is something you need to stay on top of. Hope this helps.
