And considering the number of batteries out there with the exact same form factor (power contacts aside) as the one Pentax is using in the K10D (Canon, Nikon, and KonicaMinolta have all used it, as well as others), I want to know who makes and holds the patents for them. They might be a good company to invest in. ;) John Celio -- http://www.neovenator.com AIM: Neopifex "Hey, I'm an artist.
