Sounds like the D's behavior under low-voltage is quite different
from the DS. All I can tell you is that I've had no problems at all,
taking exposures right up to the point where the camera literally
shuts down from lack of power.

I've found that I sometimes will get 200 exposures from "half full"
lithiums. But not always. In nearly two years with the *istD, I've
learned that the camera can go wonkers at any time once the battery
indicator drops to the half full point. Admittedly, serious
problems are rare, but they happen any time voltage is a bit down.
I rarely find myself shooting anything that I don't want or need,
so I'm not going to risk failure, even for an extra 200 exposure. I
now use AA lithiums rather than the CRV3, since I've found the
performance virtually identical. Nearly expended batteries are used
to power toys, radios, or sometimes even a flash unit.
