We have an old Vosonics image tank, without picture viewing capabilities - it works just fine, acts just as a portable hard drive with built in card reader (so no OS or problems reading file types). Never had a problem with it and I am very happy with it.
Next time I may go for something like the ESUS EEE plus flash drive instead of an image tank.

Peter, lithium batteries are banned in checked luggage - you are still allowed to take tow batteries in ziploc bags in your hand baggage in addition to any installed in devices. This rule only applies to large lithium batteries - over 8 grams in weight with more than 25g lithium such as extended life laptop batteries.
Normal smaller lithium batteries are still allowed.
As far as I know this rule only applies on flights to, from or within the US.

Better for the environment than steak too - none of that methane farting and those nice big feet don't wreck the soil like hooves do. I'm all in favour of it - provided you leave most of them in the wild that is, don't eat 'em all. Do they have roo farms like they have croc farms?

No harm came to the roo, it one out on that occasion. Sick or not Don, I agree the chicken had it coming.

I just looked at the quick start guide for the K200D - and it states that it is supplied with Lithium batteries, and indeed recommends using 4 AA lithium batteries, rather than Ni-MH batteries.

It doesn't mention CR V3 batteries, which are what I use in my Ds though, only 4 AA batteries.

Once known a serious amount of manipulation might be required !
p.s. The smilies seem to have gone for a lie down.

Don't laugh but for me it was the Zenith SLR - it was my first SLR camera, bought for my 18th by my parents. It was the cheapest SLR there was at the time, which made it accessible to those of us without much money. Oh the joy of owning that camera. I loved it. Took thousands of photos with it until it died unexpectedly
Before that I used my Mum's old Box Brownie, so that was absolutely a milestone camera. My brother still has it - and it still works.
It took another 25 years before I owned another SLR and rediscovered my delight in photography.
