hey.. i thought u used canon gear :)

for a full day shoot, say a wedding, i would go through 2 x D200 batteries. there is opportunity also to charge batteries at the reception in case u need more power.

Brick and mortar - unfortunately you'd be hard pressed to get a discount off their regular $95 or $99.95 prices. :(
Unless there's a parallel importer/warehouse type photography supplier in Melb, or a predominantly online sales store.

Have a look at:
http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au

They are pretty good at sending out gear if they have it in stock. They are based in Sydney but Express Post should get to you by Friday if they ship today. They have the battery listed for $69. Give them a ring and see if they can do it for you.

cheers,

I'd look to see if say Photobuff have the Phottix batteries that Poon sells.... they seem just as good as genuine, and a lot cheaper.

Otherwise, myabe some of those battery world type stores?
