RCR-V3's. It's the best way possible to run the istD. Only problem with them is, I haven't seen any RCR-V3 battery chargers that can charge more than one at a time.... With the battery grip attached a guy needs for of the suckers so it would be nice to have a charger that can at least do 2 at a time.

The same way they dealt with power supply issues with the *ist D....let the owners worry about it! Many other DSLR's come with rechargeable batteries (or they are at least available for them), but not the *ist D. This is a major let down IMHO. The ability to use of AA's is great, but not so great when you need half a dozen sets of batteries to keep the thing going. There's another thread on this very topic I started yesterday regarrding possible alternative methods of powering the *ist D.
