I understand "company claims".  I drove a 2002 VW Beetle for almost 6 years. $5000 in repairs / upgrades to keep it on the road in that time.   I fullllly understand how things are blown out of proportion in favor of the company sometimes.  I now drive a Ford again. Three years, no problems.  Interesting note about the battery.  I put it in the charger last night and went to bed. Got up, the battery was 'charged'.  I popped it into the camera and checked the in-camera condition meter. It says the charge is only 98%, zero shots, and the condition of the battery is 'new'. Shouldn't it show 100 percent since it JUST came out of the charger? Or did it randomly discharge 2 percent after the end of it's charge cycle while it waited for me to get it this morning?I know conditions can cause issues too, but I was using it inside of a 65-degree room the entire time. I figured it should be good to go like my old Canon was.  We'll see what happens after last nights charge.Ah yes, the Bumbley charm.. the thing I have that I don't always know I have that works like a charm... sometimes.  *chuckle*.  I'll give the battery one more chance (just pulled it off an all-night charge) and we'll see how it goes!</blockquote>
