Hi Chris,
I recommend you stick labels on grip and flash "No Nicads".
Perhaps the biggest risk you run in buying a used QA310, is that you get
one that has been ruined.
Just now I took my "fried" one out of storage and ran it through off-camera
tests. And did the same with the other.
To my surprise I could not detect any difference between that one and the
"good" one I'm using now. I can't remember what evidence I had to make me
decide to buy some more. Incipient but undetected Zuikoholism perhaps (but
I've had it for years). All functions seemed to behave equally off camera.
So on the basis of those tests, one could say both are fried internally or
neither are.
If anybody else can advise what the symptoms are of a "nicad-ruined
QA310", I'd be pleased to read.
