Fuji X-T1 for a travel camera? Battery worries...

Hi all,

I'm going travelling around a few cities in America in the summer and I'm going to get a new camera. Currently I shoot with a Canon 7D, I love it but it's just too big and heavy for travel/street photography. I've done a fair bit of research and I think the Fuji X-T1 is the right choice for me but I've seen a few people mention about battery life being an issue. Some people reported only being about to get 200-300 shots on a single charge! Battery is something I've never really worried about with the 7D as I easily get over 1000 photos on a single charge.

I'm going to end up buying a few spare batteries, carrying them with me and charging them every night. I don't want to end up having to carry a camera bag full of gear.

Any thoughts/advice/experience of any of my ramblings will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
