Things like batteries, smart media cards if you bet on the wrong voltage, cables that are proprietary to the camera, smart media cards now that SD is out. I realize this is a period of tremendous growth and change, but the designers and engineers need to spend some time on standards so that a purchaser has some reasonable expectation that the camera will be useable in two or three years. I know, if its proprietary its more profitable but only if someone buys the things. Don doyrsrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
