Hi ... I've enjoyed reading this thread. Good points have been made by several people for their preferences. Based on my own usage factors and preferences, I think using the CRV3 Lithium disposables (which are the type that came with the camera) is the way I'll go.
That they have "enormous" shelf life is a factor. About how long can a set stay in a camera bag without being used? Is there any particular brand that may be better suited to the DS than another? I could see carrying about a set of AA Lithium cells for backup or emergency situations. I grabbed a set of "Energizer e" cells. Are they pretty good? Anything better - especially considering that they hang out in the camera bag until needed.
