Let alone be amazed at having to use a battery in an "electronic controlled camera using twunkie light!" ;-) Or heaven forbid that it might be a great idea to carry spare batteries for every battery required piece of gear they own! Common sense dictates if a camera or flash uses battery power, it's going to fail just when you need battery power most! Did you guys miss that paragraph in the instruction book under "battery requirements?" ;-) "Never leave home without spares!" As the nearest battery store will always be a 1000 miles from where you are ( or it seems like it) when you need them most! ;-) From experience, been there done that and never leaves home without spare batteries! And an extra roll of film in a pocket, regardless of how much is in the camera equipment bag! ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
