What changed? The battery is bigger than the CP5000 but the 5000 gives me very little shooting time and the D100 seems to last forever. Whatever they did with the D100 they should do with all of the batteries.

Have you recently seen a digital camera which can works >w/o batteries? Nuff said :) Have you seen a manual camera you can change film speeds between frames on? Or erase selected images when you run out of film? I'm not sure that the battery thing is a heavy entitement. You get two batteries. That's all. The batteries in my d100 last for WEEKS and that's using the built in flash as well as the LCD preview. If you're a nut about the things, you get a solar charger for your batteries, or a hand crank generator. There are much better things to be annoyed at digital with, batteries ain't it. At least in the pro models.
