Hi Bob. Re dvd, I would say you'd be better off looking at comparisons between the one you're looking at and some others that are similar. If you know that thats the one you want then you'll learn heaps from forums but mostly from getting out there and taking photos. As for batteries, I'm looking at getting a second one for my canon (that I havent even got yet) so I'd be interested to here thoughts about that. Though looking at these things on e bay, none of them are very expensive so it wouldnt hurt the hip pocket to get an original.

Cheers.........Mick
