There have been many reports here of problems with the BG-E2  battery
grip on the 20D.  I went and got one.  It arrived last week and I

proud owner of a Nikon D70.
It came with the 18-70 lens and I'm awaiting delivery of the 105 macro one.
What I would like to know please is what people on here think is the best

I have approx 512 mb of JPEG photos on my hard drive & desire to copy
them onto either a Compact Disk or a DVD Disk.  I can burn disks on
both drives.

basis, i.e. take pictures of the family during events, vacation ...

Purchased a Kodak LS443 just over 3 years ago, and yesterday it started
taking black shots, nothing but black, There s also a click noise when I
adjust the analogue zoom.
Browsing the Internet this camera appears to suffer from this problem.

Okay, folks, my sister-in-law has politely asked me to ship her a zoom lens
in the range of 70-200 for the Nikon D70 that she currently has in Brazil.
Choosing B&H Photo as a possible vendor, I have located the following
