Evan, > I just discovered that Preview can open ist D raw files. Neat. Strangely enough, Preview on one of our iMacs I've tried (Core Duo/10.4.8) can't display .PEFs from my istDs. So is it limited just to istD? Cheers, Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/m

off brand off shore made rechargable batteries are infamous for overstating the capacity. The usa FTC cant go after them I guess or just dont care to. I think the best way is to test your batteries in a systematic way but dont forget that most of them take about 10 cycles or so to get up to speed
