Re: 48 Hour Photo Comp: Concorde
Only a couple of 'in service' examples; I've found most of them in the museums, but 'too late' with the time, decent camera (and not needing a budget for film), and information on what was flying when, etc...... before they were retired..... my biggest regret probably is not catching this in 'proper...

Do the 3rd-party batteries provide 'battery usage' data on the camera screen icon, please? I'd seen reports when they first came out that only Canon ones would indicate the usage.
