Hi - I don't have time to go into details, but please DON'T use Windex on any part of your gear. There are solvents designed for optics. Avoid using solvents at all on the sensor- brushes and lint-free cloth or paper works wonders. A blower brush works well on the sensors. Do not use canned air. - Good luck!

great, my flash batteries are dieing. i was planning on picking up some more tomorrow anyway. does anyone buy rechargables? do they have enough Ma or Mv power to charge quickly?

i am thinking of buying 8AA rechargables and a charger instead of always getting energizer lithiums for 20 bucks a pop. do they work just as well?
do you know what the power rating is for the rechargibles is?
