I'm cery pleased with the *istD's power options. The first set of CRV3s lasted for 999
shots and the second set are going strong with a further 600+. Look Mum, no mains
required!
There's always the option of the RCRV3s if required, and totally non-proprietary.
Won't get stuffed for huge battery replacement costs when the camera is getting on a
bit and no l9nger supported.

Hah! The same way they dealt with power supply issues with the *ist
D....let the owners worry about it! Many other DSLR's come with
rechargeable batteries (or they are at least available for them), but
not the *ist D. This is a major let down IMHO. The ability to use of
AA's is great, but not so great when you need half a dozen sets of
batteries to keep the thing going.
There's another thread on this very topic I started yesterday regarrding
possible alternative methods of powering the *ist D.
