Took the grandchildren to the Rochester Museum & Science Center today and one of the things that they did there was dissect a squid! Even my three-year old granddaughter. Took some shots for the Museum and made them available on http://fredjennyphotography.com , password protected. 

I used the Nikon D300 with MB-D10 battery pack loaded with AAs. I like it -- plenty of power, not that I needed 8 frames per second for the dissection. The heft and feel of the D300 with the pack reminds me of my old F5. It's good to be able to power the D300 with batteries readily available world-wide.

As noted in some of the reviews of the MB-D10, the portrait shutter has a hair-trigger -- agreed, but not a problem.
