I had two hummingbirds sitting and playing in my fountain outside my window.
Grab teh camera and get the most amazing and I mean the most amazing shots ever.
Glance down at the screen
NO CF CARD
Piss on a stick.
Put a card in in ultra superman speed and start clicking away.
Take two shots , then the camera turns off.
Dead batteries.
~~~
So far Monday morning is just starting off just finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne =\

Ack! My sympathies. The kids would have enjoyed roast hummingbird. Or, they may have declared it to be bland.

Could be worse... It could be your gun and bad people trying to break in, you realize last second (litteraly) you don't have ammo in the gun.
I am not sure why don't you turn on the "No shooting without CF Card" option (which gave me BIG head-aches in the past)?
No suggestions for the battery though other than get a grip... Those hold two batteries and takes long time to drain them.Message edited by author 2010-09-27 09:43:07.

Two great reasons to always park your camera in "ready" condition. I figured that out the tough way too.

Never heard that one before, but I'll have to use it sometime. For some reason, it gets the point across (and I don't know how/why).
A little better than a term I read from a really mad doctor:
"F*** a duck!"

LOL... Spazzy McSpazzotron!
ETA... if it makes you feel any better, I was covering an event yesterday, all access Media tag & all. I didn't think I'd be taking any more than 300 shots so I only brought my one 8GB card in camera. 80% of the way through the event, I filled my card at 650 shots. 8-O Luckily there was a lull in the action which gave me time to cruise through and delete extras so I had enough space to make it to the end.Message edited by author 2010-09-27 12:20:12.

rofl, I used to say f a duck all the time,
I have a battery grip on it and I think it has been on the ready position for months, just today it was all messed up.
We are talking National Geographic, award winning Pulitzer , noble peace prize award winning hummingbirds =P
