This year, with the batteries all being over a year old, I get only 50 - 100 raw shots per set. The colder it is, the shorter they last. In both years I was shooting in 10 - 25 F pretty regularly (it was actually colder last winter overall.) I assume the batteries are just wearing out.
Of course, that's an *ist-D, not DS, but if your batteries are not new then that could be the problem.

Subject: isDS - low batteries.
The nimh batteries in my isDS go low very quickly when I've been out shooting in 20F or lower temperatures... especially with auto bracketing.
I get a dead camera after about 50-60 jpegs. And, a halfway empty battery icon after about 20 RAWs.
Does anyone know if this is normal?
I have one of these: http://www.precision-camera.com/page/PCV/PROD/102783
It came with my "long in the tooth" and very used Kodak/Nikon DCS-460. Does anyone know first hand if it can be used with the isDS?
At this point, it's probably worth more than the DCS-460.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
