[QUOTE=RecurrentNerve;1096124I didn't realise they took AA batteries though; that would put me off to be honest. Fair enough, if they run out you can pick up spares quickly, but why not just use a Lithium battery that takes 1600 shots a charge and avoid the issue altogether?[/QUOTE]

And if you are out in the bush and you run out of battery with a LI-Ion battery, you can't recharge it. You can open a pack of AA batteries and stick them in, however. Also, you can buy AA batteries anywhere. You can't with a proprietary camera battery.

The new K-r takes care of this problem anyway. It takes a supplied Li-Ion or AA. Problem solved.
