Re: KM 7D

7 D batteries.... funny when I came back to this forum.. ( never really left ) While invested in Sony gear... I find this forum to be less, confrontational and most of my old nemesis are no longer stalking me... I come here every day, and rarely view the Sony forum..

About 6 months ago I made a run at reviving this forum. I took every thread posted on the first page of this forum which was up to about 6 months. I opened and viewed every single post... took the timew to digest its content, and offered some real opinion or comment.. it took me a few days to get the whole first page down to less than 24 hours.

I figured if the three or four that still come here would help, maybe we could get people more interested in posting here, to revive this forum... not so much as a total KM forum , but as a forum where former KM users, and some with KM gear could come, and share.

So six months ago I took out my 7D, and charged up two original KM batteries from 2004. I have a total of four OEM batteries that are 12 years old, and two good quality generics that are about 8 years old. Of the 4 OEM batteries, only one would hold a charge. All of the generics were dead. So I bought new generic, and had it in a few days// charged it up so I had two good batteries and the Original 12 year old OEM works as if it was new... And the new generic works well...

AS far as this forum goes.. I hung in there for two weeks, every day keeping this forum very active... after all, I've always said what good is a forum if no one posts a comment to a question or a photograph that was posted .. soi I made sure every post , and photograph received a comment. an honest comment , not a sugar coated one.

After two weeks I realized that there was some interest but not enough to encourage a revival.. so I still come here, comment if appropriate, offer some input and opinion, and do not expect much... I found it interesting that a few of my Boo birds came in just to trash my efforts and then left.. these are suppose to be grown men. It actually made me laugh and realize even with my advanced stage cancer, I am much better off as a human being then they ever will. One actually made mention of the fact that I was still alive, knowing of my sickness, and seemed to be unhappy in the fact that I was still breathing.
