Hi!
I picked up my K10D kit from the UPS depot today, and ran a few test
shots (after charging up the battery.) I've only taken about 20 shots -
I plan to give it a thorough workout in the storm tomorrow and hope to
get many shots.
But - here's shot 14 and 15, a couple of dark

Ummm...no. Just last week we had a FedEx Ground
package that was eventually delivered to our
neighbors, after two attempts at 10 and 11 am.
The only delivery method that reliably works for me is
to have packages delivered to my office (the one last
week was too heavy to schlep home).

For large packages with heavy insurance, FedEx is much cheaper. I had
to ship several large crates of oil paintings to the west coast. UPS
wanted $3000. FedEx did it for $750.

Mark,
Mine was supposed to reach me on Tuesday.
I patiently (not!) waited all day, covering the door while Lynn went
grocery shopping in the early morning and coming home early to wait as
I was sure it would appear. The UPS guys had it in suburban Chicago
and it was out for delivery! I checked
just got mine from amazon. it was supposed to come on friday, but for
whatever reason came a day early.
the wait to charge the battery seems almost
infinite/unbearable.
just wondering how many people here got one today?
best,
