I guess if even Cotty went to RAW .... :) I do need to get a card reader anyway - but I'm greatly relieved to hear from both you and Peter about this - Thanks so much! I don't think I need to do it all the time but probably will ahve to get into it eventually. I haven't seen a marked difference between RAW and JPG in the few things I shot both ways at GFM last year - but that may just be a funciton of my eyes.
