> but I am sure it got vastly better battery life than my current mirrorless camera.

That sounds about right. Mirrorless cameras need to do a lot of image processing and that affects battery life significantly.

Definitely, compare to a DSLR which is only fully powered-on when your finger is on the shutter button. Otherwise it's basically asleep 99% of the time, if the screen's off.
