Reminds me what a great community this list is. Nothing like it anywhere. Thanks, Doug. And Ann, so glad you revolved your problem.

Re: sick transit my istD ???
Both my *ist-D, (never used since I think I cracked the top circuit board), and my *ist Ds exhibit similar behavior. Turn the camera on with fresh rechargeable or lithium disposables and they show zero charge. Turn them off and on again and sometimes you see a full charge. Sometimes not even then. However I keep an old lead pencil with a real rubber eraser on hand for just this emergency. Pop the batteries out and erase the contact surfaces on the inside of the battery compartment then blow off any residual rubber. Viola*, the the camera works when the batteries are replaced. I suspect that there's a microscopic layer of oxidation on the battery contacts, unseen to the naked eye. *That's what the spell checker suggested and I'm sticking with it.

RE: sick transit my istD ???
My istD has never shown low battery readings on turning on, unless the batteries are genuinely flat! It will show a low or zero battery charge after using the built-in flash, but the On/Off fix works every time. I use Eneloops in it and they last a long time. I would agree that checking the terminals, on both camera and batteries, would be worthwhile.
