Cotty could provide some reference real world experience >with the D60 as he has had his for a month or two now. FWIW I get around 150 >4MP shots off to a set of 4 AA 1600mAh NiMH cells in my E-10. I ran for 2 weeks on a double battery pack set in the battery grip shooting around 800 images. Use of the flash was minimal. Use of the rear LCD minimal. I run 512 MB and 256 MB CF cards. I suspect a problem with Brendan's power sources / may not have been fully charged. FWIW, I have the LCD set to not come on automatically after each shot, and I must agree with Rob about not letting clients look at the results so early. When shooting Betacam, anyone wants to look at the tape down the viewfinder is met with a 'I'm sorry but that facility is not available at this time' courtesy message from me. I, too, was unaware that the D60 was slated as a studio camera, and is certainly not regarded as a full 'professional' camera, at least from where I sit. .02, <re-cloaking> Cotty ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
