I've just learned that something called a RCR-V3 (rechargeable lithium pack)
can replace the two AA batteries in certain cameras. Has anybody tried this,
and if so, what camera and how did it perform as compared with NiMH
batteries?

Can anyone give information or a link that describes how low cost
digital cameras can autofocus an image?  Is this part of the ASIC in
the camera or is it a software algorithm that resides on the
microcontroller on the camera?

I'd like to get some advice for a Gitzo Carbon Fiber tripod and center ball
head for my Nikon D3 and lenses, the heaviest being my Nikon 70-200 f/2.8.
I'd like it sturdy, but as light as reasonably possible (that's why I've
decided on Carbon Fiber). I'm not interested in Basalt.

I know sharpening had a big place in photography due to low resolution
digital cameras.  The pictures were just too soft without a touch of
sharpening.  Even so the recommendation was to sharpen only just prior to
printing.

I am looking at purchasing an all in one printer. A buddy of mine
suggested a Lexmark.  Does anyone have experience with the Lexmark all
in one's?
Thanks
