RE: digial cameras CHEAP!

Jan,

I've got the EH-21 charger/eliminator and their EN-EL1 (for my 880).
The first time I ran the camera connected to the computer, I left it on
for a little while... and killed the battery so bad that I couldn't
close the camera up! Greatly recommended!

I guess that's why they added an optical view finder. Trouble is, it's
not a TTL (through the lens). But then, it didn't cost like a D2!

Now if I can figure out a lens mount for a slide copier (can't even put
a filter on it (AFAIN))!

P.S., How do you like the tiltable LCD viewer? I decided I didn't
need/want it.
