How many of you with K10D's are shooting Raw+JPG? This is my choice of shooting. It is nice to have the jpgs for quick review without the need for batch raw conversion. It is also nice to have the raw files to process images that I find are either interesting or maybe need exposure or WB correction. With a 4GB card there is plenty of space for both, especially comparing compressed PEF vs. DNG files. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
