Sounds like you didn't really want an answer to the question. If you ask, and someone answers you, why would you make a comment like you made (Hmmmm. Covering up contacts sounds a bit dubious to me. The manufacturers surely don't handicap their own units for marketing reasons.) This is one of the reasons I don't answer people's questions anymore if I know the answer. Nobody appreciates it. All they want to do is to argue it. Why wouldn't the manufacturer tell you? Because the manufacturers know their is too many dumb people out there to figure it out. They would probably be getting cameras back as defective left and right because people would think they don't work. I tried this with my D50, and it works perfectly. It's just manual instead of auto.

By the way, excellent shot. This is pristine!!! Great job!

A good description of using high speed sync can be found at //www.rpphoto.com/howto/view.asp?articleID=1026 To quote: A standard hotshoe flash gives out a very short pulse of light. The flash duration can vary from around 1/1,000 second to 1/50,000 sec or shorter. The less light that's needed, the shorter the duration Depending on whether there is significant ambient light you'd see little difference between a flash shot at 1/30 and 1/500.

Well deserved!!! This shot is in a class of its own. I really don't know how those people in the 1,2,3 range scored this honestly....I guess thats the bad part about this site. But Congrats man, great shot!

I hate to keep hijacking this beautiful photo but I think the photographer may benefit...

Check this explaination: Fooling the D70

Like the man says...you can do it but it is up to you to set it up correctly.

Here is another example

Great timing and effort here. Lovely shot. Must have been a b**** to clean up though. How about an after shot of the golfball bouncing back out of the cup?
