I use lithium AAs in both the camera and the grip. I get more than

Evan,
If you have a USB 2 connection on your computer and a
USB 2 card reader, there is no reason to use the cable
from the camera--unless you like s-l-o-o-o-w transfers

the camera. Are you running it with a micro-drive CF card, or solid

Hello Paul,
Glad to hear you got a working one. They are fun, aren't they!
Working with the strobes is real nice - more like having a poloroid

Modeling lights help, but only so far.
