Charles, You must have a bad battery. I do not have the Delkins but I easily get twice the number of shots off my Nexcell Li-ions. Yes, viewing images on the LCD is going to help drain the batteries but it still seems that your batteries are not working as they should.
I am happy using the RCR-V3s because the self discharge is much less than the NiMH's. I cannot tell you how many times I grabbed a camera that had dead batteries. I also had problems with the *istD using the onboard flash with NiMHs. My batteries did not have the current draw to properly charge the RTF and the camera would shut down. The RCR-V3s work fine.
