I'm new to the list. I haven't found this discussed in the archive ... The CR-V3 batteries Pentax recommends for the *ist-D cost an arm & a leg, so I've mostly been using Ni-MH AAs to power the camera. The AAs don't seem to give very good performance. When I install freshly charged batteries, the battery status display shows the half battery indicator the instruction book says is "low battery". I actually get better performance from AA alkaline batteries.
I've looked on the web for CR-V3 rechargables & found some, but I also ran into advice to check with the camera manufacturer before using them. Haven't heard anything back from Pentax yet, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone have experience using CR-V3 rechargables in the *ist-D? If so, what was the experience like, and is there a brand/model you'd recommend? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
