My wallet is glad the istD can take either. The difference in price can be significant. The local Target store prices a two-pack of CRV3s at $14.95 and a four-pack of AA's at $9.99.

In a flash unit? Thanks. No. They are not a direct replacement, in that they generally won't fit the battery bays of flash units. The battery bay is the istD and grip are shaped in such a way that they can fit either AA or CR-3V. William Robb
