Christine,

This is not to suggest that anyone use anything but what they prefer. It started in my head when I thought of upgrade the D100. To do that I would need to up the PC as well, ( budget implications ) certainly to handle the RAW file sizes. A trawl around the net was really inconclusive as no pics only talk. I also considered that people new to the hobby might go with jpeg for an easier learning curve. A lot to take in if you have to understand a camera and digital processing. Anyway part of the result of that look was the suggestion that different cameras processed the 2 image versions in different ways. Stephen and I did a few tests that confirmed that. Not to any great degree but its there. So here on WPF we may have one source of unbiased info that those seeking similar info could rely on.

Once we know the limitations of our chosen method of working we are into what you digi darkroom wizzes do, to finish our image in the pc. Re Stephens comment to me. Just given it a go .... excellent.

Don
