If it helps I have an Omega Seamaster (it was my 21st birthday present a while ago), when the battery runs out on it, which seems to be every few years, it can cost me £100 to get the battery replaced if they send it off to Omega. When they get sent off to Omega, they replace all the seals etc...

I use one of those adapters to and have never had a problem.....the main reason I use it is that although the CF cards are not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, I had a number of SD cards laying around that I could get more use out of rather than letting them go to waste.

That answers one of my questions as well....always wondered why sometimes they look so much better on the camera.

Prop: For me is the De Havilland Mosquito, did a school project on it and when at the museum they let my dad and I sit in the the prototype they have on display. Jet: It has to be the SR-71 Blackbird. Once saw it at the Mildenhall air show as a young boy and remember asking my dad why there...

I only use RAW now, one of the reasons for me was that when importing into iPhoto I could never find a way to just view the RAW or JPEG files so would end up having to look at two copies of each one.

Its canon for me....did have a nikon d70s but my dad commandeered it, though in return I do get to occasionally get to play with is hasselblad and leica :)

I have one in my 7d and never had any issues with it....mind you I don't shoot video on it so not sure if that works ok.

Just wanted to say Hi from another forum newbie.. Always been into photography, and was presented with a lovely 7d for fathers day which I am slowly getting used to :)

Just wanted to say that there is some excellent advice in this thread, especially for someone who was also looking at those eBay 'deals' :)
