RE: *ist D: Enabled!
Trial prep is a huge PITA. But, as long as you have that retainer in your trust account, and interim bill aggressively, you'll see tangible fruits of that time spent not shooting with your *ist D. Not only that, but you won't look like a dork in court when opposing counsel asks that awkward question... Memories... cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.

Oh, there's no question the charger and batteries are better. I'll keep 4 CR-V3s around for emergencies anyway, but much rather have the charger. -Original Message- From: Bill Owens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21-Oct-03 07:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: *ist D: Enabled! The Pentax charger and NiMh batteries I picked up last Saturday were only $25.00 US. This is pretty close to what 2 CR-V3 batteries cost, so it's probably an even swap, but a better deal for you. The charger is kind of slow though, taking 7 hours to charge the 4 NiMh batteries.

OK, so I go to pick up my *istD today, and there's a package that comes with it that contains a battery charger and 4 AA NiMH batteries.

I now have the following that use AAs: Minolta F300 5MP 2xAF500FTZ *istD and battery grip That's a total of 18 batteries to keep everything running. I now have 5 chargers and 20-some NiMH AAs.

Inside the box is a slip that informs me that Pentax Canada has upgraded the CRV3s to rechargeables for a more enjoyable picture taking experience. All I can say is: Congratulations, you are so lucky! I'd trade the CRV3's that came with mine for a *good* NiMH charger anytime. I'm glad Pentax got it so quickly. When I bought my Olympus C2000Z, it came with a great universal-voltage NiMH rapid charger and batteries. By the time I upgraded to the C3000Z, it was CRV3s. When I upgraded to the C5050, it was back to NiMH charger and batteries, but this time, it was no longer a rapid charger. Thank goodness I didn't sell the old charger. And this year it's the Pentax *ist-D using the old Olympus batteries and chargers. :-) So on average, the one digital camera a year theory has been true for me, at least. They don't pile up, though. The C2000Z was stolen; the C3000Z developed dead sensors so I sold it. --jc
