Nikon has extended its Nov. 8 recall of battery packs that come with the D70, D70S, D50 and D100 cameras. Only a few batteries are included in the recall. To check to see if your battery has been recalled, go to [nikonusa.com] and click on "EN-EL3 battery recall."

The lot number is difficult to find--it is in one of the recessed areas on the business side of the battery, printed in black ink on the black battery, so move it around and squint a bit and you'll figure it out.

You have a Nikon? You mean pron's Canon RDF didn't affect you? Oh my!

My boss is a true-blue Nikon man. When you're given Nikon lenses, you make Nikonade. pRON was a Nikon man once too--I remember the Trib switched everyone three weeks or something before the Salt Lake Olympics and pRON was shooting hockey. Talk about nervous...

Well he's sure got to me. Hmmm, I just bought his 1Dmk2...maybe he had a hidden agenda.

I have friends with Canons and they're very nice. But I have a few hundred invested in Nikon lenses, so a switch would be expensive for me.

That makes sense. I was just giving you a hard time anyway ;)

It's true that my work has switched to the Canon system but I still like both platforms.

If you pick either one you are on good shape because their line extends all the way to digi pro cams.

pRON, it's good to see you posting here.
