<p>You didn't get a 5400HSD. You got a 5400HS. It's not digital-capable. (If you got a 5600HSD, disregard...you got a steal. ;-) )</p>

<p>It will not meter, or shoot wireless. It will shoot full power, or on manual settings. </p>

<p>It CAN be upgraded with a kit made by a private individual. Google around or check dyxum.com</p>

<p>Frankly, you paid too much. These never cost more than $100 US, and often less these days.</p>

<p>Compare it in price to a Minolta 3600HSD, which shouldn't cost much more than that.</p>

<p>Well, is it a 5600HSD or a 5400HS? If the latter, then I agree with Greg, you paid too much sadly.</p>
