Yes, I have a tendency to pick nits.... particularly on pet
peeves. Battery misinformation is one such pet peeve. It was not a
personal attack, simply pointing out that such a piece of information is
useless for the point trying to be conveyed.
I've never noticed significantly less life out of my -DS depending
on how much I use the LCD. I personally don't see much value in live
viewing on the screen, except in very rare circumstances like ground-level
shooting. Without a pivotable screen though, even that is dubiously
valuable.
OTOH, it's basically a free addition since it doesn't require
anything other than software, so I'm surprised it's taken this long to be
included.
