Given that I can't reliably reproduce any errors (they appear to be random) I can't imagine what they'd say ...

I had a friend using a Kodak in Antarctica, he never reported such issues to me. However reading the specs from many CF makers some don't rate their cards below 0 deg C. I must say that I'm getting pretty tired of this camera and all the hassles involved in just taking pictures. I'm thinking that a Ni%on Coolscan LS-50 for 1/2 the price of the 20D body would have been the far far better option (I don't do photo journalism, sports or people). So far its needed: $600 extra for the privelidge of ownership (compared to 14bit 4000dpi scanner), $100 extra in media (the 512 I had for my 3MP camera just wasn't enough) $100 for a 18mm lens (to get close to the 24mm's that I already own) large amounts of wasted time and hassle and to top it off I can't use any of my flash gear. That's quite a bit of film and processing. I'm thinking of eBaying the bloody thing * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
