Colorspace settings are only applied to the JPEG output (thumbnails, embedded previews, full capture format as desired, etc) after RAW conversion. If you are capturing in JPEG format and need the least amount of channel clipping for further editing, Adobe RGB is the way to go. If you're capturing JPEG and want the best results for printing directly from the camera, sRGB is the way to go. > 2. Completely unrelated, but I'd like to hear about your > experiences.

Is this normal with istDs? Not normal for my *ist DS bodies. I have two sets of Power2000 NiMH AAs, rated 2400 mAh capacity, which come with a two channel fast charger. I've been using these two sets for over two years now. The charge to full from exhausted in about 90 minutes and generally return 600-800 exposures per full charge. I bought the set (charger and one set of four batteries) from B&H Photo for $28, second set of batteries cost me about $13 IIRC. I bought another set of NiMH no- name brand at Fry's Electronics, rated 2500 mAh, and they tend to last about the same when charged in the same charger. By comparison, a set of Everready CRV3 or AA Lithium E2 disposables tends to run 1100-1300 exposures before being exhausted in these bodies.
