My batteries finally arrived yea. And I won at the race track Yea Yea.
Life is good. No more videotaping the dog in the backyard. I feel a trip to Sedona is in my near future. Just waiting for my tripod.

Joe,

Good for you!! Since you are in Arizona and I am in Maryland, I am guessing that mine won't show up until next week sometime. Too bad I will be on location overseas for 2 weeks staring on Monday (not shooting with my HD100).

Guess that I will have to test it out when I get back.

I hope that the guys who get in on the AB promo fair better than us IDX guys!!! If I didn't like the picture that this camera puts out, I would be much more pissed off right now about the whole thing. It pains me, but I will be putting out the cash for a few more IDX batteries when the kit finally arrives.

What was the brand that Nate Weaver was using that was "V" mounted?

Hooooorayyyyyyy for you, Joe. That's great to hear. I definitely know the feeling!!! AB which we're moving to makes the pin adapter plate that is "V" mount on one side and pin mount on the other so you don't need to buy an additional plate. A second battery is always a good idea; expensive but well worth it. And the 100HD will show remaining power in the viewfinder as long as it's an "A" upgrade model unlike the IDX which you have to look at the side of the battery to see.
