I never used an *ist D, but in the *ist DS I would regularly obtain
1100-1300 exposures on a single set of Eveready AA Lithium E2 batteries.

Last summer I put four Energizer AA lithium cells into the *ist D. I
used it all summer, carried it to Munich in August where I took 832
pictures (RAW). Why so few? Because it was raining all the time.
I've been using the camera on and off since then. Both with lenses
(some autofcous) and on the microscope. The battery indicator still
reads full. I don't actually know how many pictures I've taken, but
I'm sure it's more than 1000. I used the flash on several occasions
as well. Now we're going to Helsinki for Xmas and I'm charging up a
few sets up NiMH just in case. It would seem the figures in the
Pentax manual are conservative?
I'm going to buy a couple of packs of those Lithiums for an Xmas
present to me.
