It seems a very nice body, I am tempted by its size and good high

My only concern is the trouble that some people is having with
rechargeable batteries (see dpreview forum threads). Having owned a
Ds and owning now a K20D, I can say that, despite I much prefer the
universality of AA batteries, the proprietary lithium ones seem more
reliable.
I am interested in experiences with this (camera) body too...
I've given up on NiMH AA rechargeables in my *istD and gone back to
lithiums. I was getting as few as 20 shots on 8 batteries (4 in the
body and 4 in the grip) before the camera would shut down, and I was
getting reluctant to take the camera out to use because of that. I
started carrying around a set of lithiums as a back-up but when I
realised that the back-ups were spending more time in the camera than
the NiMH's I knew it was time to change.
