If you don't have memory cards inserted, you should be fine using standby mode (flipping the switch at the top of the unit). I generally manage to get about 2 weeks of moderate use (2 hours a day) before the battery goes below half.

With the Sony Memstick Duo card inserted, I have to charge it slightly more often. But nowhere near as often as when I was inserting SD cards.

If you're not going to use it for 3-4 weeks, it is probably better to power it down all the way (an option buried in the setup menu).
