Not having used a zoom on the DS to any extent, I can't, but a lot of people on the list recommend the 16~45 and the 20~35. There may be others, but I pay attention when people talk of those lenses since the focal range interests me more than long zooms and teles. The FA 20~35 has caught my

Well, OK, not digi per se, but problems dealing with on line digi stores. The moment I ordered the DS, I ordered an SD card from http://www.flash-memory-store.com/ At Godfrey's suggestion I ordered a 60X ATP card on August 29 @ about 7:00am. The web site (http://www.flash-memory-store.com/)

If you used a credit card call your card company and lodge a complaint with them of non performance. They'll reverse the payment to the store. That usually gets their attention. Shel Belinkoff wrote: Well, OK, not digi per se, but problems dealing with on line digi stores. The moment I

Sorry to hear about your etail problems. Some of these vendors are truly crappy. I suggested NewEgg.com and Buy.com as reliable vendors. I'm not sure that they sell ATP cards, but they certainly carry Transcend, Sandisk Ultra and other name brands of 60x cards. The ATP cards are the best

If you have a Costco card, you'll find that they sell SanDisk Ultra II 1 gig cards for about $80. That's the CF price. SD might be a bit more. But you save the shipping cost. Paul On Sep 6, 2005, at 7:32 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 9/6/2005 1:57:42 PM Pacific Standard
