Bob,


I know you weren't talking to me

As far as shooting remotely----I will probably set up and give it a try this weekend. It sounds like it might make a lot of things easier--My eyes aren't too good at close range so having a bigger screen (and the histogram) plus all of the controls might be just what I have been looking for. Now all I have to do is talk my wife out of her Laptop ---Of course, if she gives me any grief---thats just an excuse to go out and get that Macbook) Hmmmm "Auto Capture" I have to look that one up.


Thanks,

I was a long time PC user and bought the MacBook last summer because I had given my PC laptop to my daughter for college....I must admit I absolutely love it!!!


Once you go Mac there's no goin' back!!
