There's a great deal of sense in that, Darren. My old K100Ds with a set of Eneloops and stashed in the trunk should be ready for any contingency. When I get the new 24Mpx K-5 this fall and the K20D becomes my backup, I think I'll do just that. :-)
No matter how hard I try, I can never come to grips with point & shits. They inevitably terminally frustrate me in some way, usually shutter lag and Auto-Misfocus. If they all disappear into cellphones they won't be missed by me.
