OMG, Rob, did you just say something *positive* about the *istD?!!? Or was I just hallucinating? Maybe I've been eating too many choc chip cookies... (I've been on a bit of a baking binge the last few days...)

It must be the way you shoot as I don't get though batteries very fast at all. My old E-10 used to gobble them up at about 5x the rate that the *ist D does so when I my first set in the *ist D kept going and going I was truly amazed. I am so glad that the *ist D doesn't rely on some proprietary Li-ion technology. My X-Drive does and it's a real pain, it it only used AA cells.....
