Wow - looks like they are going for close to $100 on eBay, FWIW.
And that doesn't include the studio power adapter for the D60/etc.
Not that you'd really need a second one, I imagine ...
Do any of you EOS 20D owners out there have experience charging the
higher capacity BP-511A batteries on older chargers, such as the
dual-battery one that came with the D60? I'm upgrading and would
really like to keep using that charger at home, but wanted to find

This is my first post to the list since joining last year after purchasing
the D60, and soon after, the 10D (thanks, PMA!). Just by way of background
info, I mostly take pictures of our children, on a daily basis so that we
can put together a collage of pictures frmo every day of the year.
