*ist-D vs *ist Ds Battery useage.

[P. J. Alling]

I've been using the *ist-Ds while my D needs repair and it seems to me 
that the Ds sucks down batteries much faster the the D ever did.  Anyone 
else have any comparable experience.  As an example, I could put a set 
of 2500 mah NiHMs into my D and go for a week of light use or several 
hundred exposures before having to worry about running out of power.  
With the Ds I'm lucky to go a day, and couple of hundred, more likely 
less than a hundred exposures before switching batteries.  The batteries 
are about a year old, but they are the same ones I was using in the D 
which was still working well with them before I stopped using it.  Just 
curious about anyone else's experience.
