I kind of think they had to change the batteries, I've gotten a lot of variability from the ones I've been using in the D and the DS. It may be unfair but it reflects badly on the cameras. I'll bet its been one of the major complaints they've gotten. I do wish that it were possible to use AAs though, maybe in the grip, but that's water under the bridge now.
