Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I can only speak for my Canon SLR, but we can easily take a hundred flash pictures on a fully charged battery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well yeah.

But I laughed anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok, now I'm reading all kinds of horror stories about HD from cable boxes not working with receivers. Gaaaaaaaaaaaah. I just want to be able to plug shit in and have it work. Is that really so much to ask?

[The real problem is that most of these forum posts are from 2006, and I have no idea how accurate any of this information still is.]

Couldn't you just run HDMI to the TV and then digital audio from the TV to the receiver?

Yes, that's what I suspect we'll end up doing.

Do they last long enough that if you're taking, say, fifty or so pictures with flash all day, they'll be okay?

absolutely!

Hey. New board.

Wow. My receiver mentioned earlier already shipped. Nice.

Want. Although something tells me it won't be available in the US.
