Hi
I thought I was having problems with the shutter on my SBIG STi (Well I was because it sometimes didnt always fully close or open and was quite variable).

So after some discussion on the Yahoo SBIG forum someone said the shutter needed a good 500mA power source and a powered hub might be best. (Yes I used the SBIG cable and had it plugged direct into my laptop)

So i bought a DLINK USB 3 hub and I must say it seems to just work really well now.

So whats the prevailing wisdom on using powered hubs for cameras etc. Do people recommend this? Will i burn out my STi? Some other folk say they cause interference in the cameras. Thoughts?

Thanks
Dan
