How do they compare with the same batteries? It seems that, in the past, someone used NiMH bats that were a little "hotter" than the standard CRV-3 bats and claimed to have gotten faster autofocus. Several people noted, iirc, that NiMH bats (maybe rechargeable ones)were not recommended for the istD cameras. Are they an acceptable and recommended option for the new K***D cameras?
Being able to focus better in low light is a definite plus.
