Dear Michael and List: The Nikon digital cameras do burn batteries quickly if you leave the LCD viewer on (you can choose to shoot without it). If you use regular store-bought batteries, you will get fed up very quickly and spend a lot of money. The easy solution -- if you are serious about your photography -- is to invest in a few of Nikon's special rechargeable batteries. They are not cheap ($40 each), but they last! I have three which I rotate, and charge them up at night. I use them almost daily, and they are still working fine, 1 1/2 years on. A solid investment, and eco-friendly too : ) The recharger doubles as an AC adaptor so you can plug the camera in directly when working on studio set-ups, etc. I admit that I'm entirely biased (having been an avid Nikon user for 18 years), but in my opinion you can't beat them. Regards, Geoff N. p.s. Michael I think this was the "blue background meteorite photo" that you mentioned in your post yesterday: http://www.notkin.net/temp/catface.htm ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
