Re: *istD grip... arghhh

Whew! Thanks all who responded.  I guess the shorter pin is normal.  I 
need the grip for a shoot today and I thought I was going to have to 
deal with a potentially flakey grip.

One of my pins is shorter also.  It seems that when the power switches
between the body and grip, the readings can be odd.  There have been
previous threads on this.  If I get a low battery reading, I turn the
camera off and on and then it is ok again.  Wish I could remember the
entire thread, but had to do with how/when it chooses the source of
power.
Perhaps someone could chime in that remembers.
