Whatever for? I find this to be a wonderful thing. The Nikon F5 runs on NiMH battery pack. It is so superior to AA batteries that I only hoped Leica would have the brains to follow suit. I just hope the price includes the battery pack and charger. Which, for the F5, run nearly $500 USD! The battery was something like $135, the charger being the more expensive part. If one battery lasts for a month, then there's no need to carry more than two batteries. Way better than packets of AAs.
