I am sure Paul it is cheaper to install it this way. That, and with the labor force here, this kinda install might be allowed in the Electricians home country.

And Paul, I got a new camera too so you could see my pictures better.

Well that and my old camera fell apart.

What did you choose...any particular reasons? I'm keeping my eyes open for one.

Oh yeah, problem panel...don't want to drift too much.

I had an old casio I bought at radio shack 4 mega pixel that I just beat to hell Larry, it still works though but many of the small screws are missing. I bought a Nikon Cool-Pix L4 for $139 it is very small but a little slow. I have just figured out the basics on it and it seems ok.

Does that mean the recovery time to take another pic is slow? I have an old Minolta Dimage XI and that's something I don't care for. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...a_dimagexi.asp

...ahhhh...just snip the bonding strap.

Larry:

This power shot

is my latest and so far I love it , it's fast, takes very good close ups and it's fairly inexpensive.

The battery life is also very good.

Just don't load the damn software that comes with it! I have found this to be true w/ 3 different brands. I just use a good card reader.

Thanks, Todd, I'll look it over but I'm with ya on not loading the supplied software. XP seems to pick up any camera download just fine.


Okay, it's probably not a good idea to just snip the bonding strap.

Nothing really wrong with the green screw is there Paul? Sorry, that doesn't have anything to do with cameras but I just wanted to make sure I understood things correctly.

Green screw is OK. The bar that connects the two lug strips needs to be removed.

Todd is correct the nuetrals and grounds should not be connected in a subpanel.
