I took the DCS200 and the N8008s with MF-20 out today. Very hot and humid. The DCS200 refused to snap a picture. Exchanged the camera portion, same problem. Both N8008s portions worked with film, not the DCS200. DCS200 LCD turned on, just "No Click!"
Got it home, hard drive spun up just fine using thw TWAIN driver, again "no click" with the camera. Pressing the shutter release lit up the LCD on the DCS200 back, but camera would not take a picture.
Turns out the electrical contacts on the N8008s side of things needed to be cleaned. Look fine: but some electrical problem. Cleared them out, all is well. At least I do not need to replace the DCS200 circuit board!
Well anyway, the N8008s seemed to enjoy shooting film, loaded with Kodak BWC.
It's just amazing this Digital Stuff ever caught on.

Once again, I'll quote the excellent NC2000 article at robgalbraith.com:Brian Sweeney wrote:It's just amazing this Digital Stuff ever caught on.
"I could never trust what the camera was doing. When you popped that card into the computer there was always that little thought in the back of your mind: what happened this time, what went wrong? But you kept doing it because it was so cool. And it was where the industry was going."
