This is a bit OT too. Just been away in the Lake District and this happened http://www.wasdale-mountain-rescue.org.uk/truestory26~screes%2014%20Jun%2007.htm

Several people have asked about books that do a better job of explaining the cameras features than the manual so t might be appropriate to mention this book here :- http://astore.amazon.com/penta-20/detail/160059185X/002-8377604-0248830

Basically it withered on the vine because mickeysoft ignored it, and there were other protocols which did the same thing.

Having looked at the Samsung (both models) there is no mention of features such as trailing curtain sync or high speed sync.
But they do have those features.
Funny that Samsung don't mention that in the tech info on their website! I'm now very tempted by the SEF-54PZF at £181!

Michelle don't let the rain stop you.
go with a ziploc bag and get some macro shots of the raindrops on the car!
If it were raining cats and dogs, that is a picture, I for one, would like to see!

Have you noticed how Wagon Wheels seem to be a lot smaller than when you were a kid?
Same with Mars Bars and Marathon Bars. (Snickers? Hurrumph!)

6112.38 kbps / 385.26 kbps according to www.numion.com who also do a more meaningful "surfspeed test" i.e. how quickly you can access a range of websites in different locations.

One caution on these speed tests, you'll find your responses can vary quite a bit over the course of a day. My own ISP (Plusnet) once clocked me at 20 mbps (but I didn't believe it!)
