You're correct. the 2-second and 12 second self timer is listed in the specs. Another interesting feature is a bracketing function that will vary not only exposure but also contrast, saturation, sharpness or white-balance. Of course that would be in jpeg mode only I believe. Paul

I agree. Why was it pulled? Wrong? Incomplete? Premature? Decided to install a 5fps motor and 12.4 sensor? If it were April 1st, I'd be worried. ;-)) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 9/12/2006 12:59:31 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Did anyone notice if a
