The camera with Li-Ion batteries would have been far, far less likely to

You may not have noticed, but ALL batteries run down at some point, and
lithium ion batteries are much like NiMH in that they have a pretty
sudden drop off of the power curve. It is always nice to have option.

True, but many Li-ion batteries are now "smart", with the ability to
tell you pretty accurately how much charge is left.
