donky7 9 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 any reason for raw..... or were you messing...??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doxhope 2 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Great stuff Dawnb... I really like them I rarely shoot anything else but RAW+Fine jpeg these days, I play around with the jpeg, and the best I convert from RAW, My new camera also has the option to shoot in Tiff, and believe it or not these files are massive, I get less frames on my card than I do when shooting RAW+jpeg fine..

Dawn B 212 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks all. I think Ill always use RAW now Donkey, the quality is better, apart from having to convert them later to JPEG, I find them much better. Doxhope. I have a TIFF setting too, I know a lot of people use this when printing large prints etc... so would fit with what you say. The only set back with RAW is not getting so many on a CF card.

Yip that can be a drawback..I get 119 on a 4gb card if Im shooting 14Bit, if Im shooting at 12Bit I get 145..I print all my stuff to A3 in jpeg, excellent...Just have to take plenty of cards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CS3 converts my Nikon NEF (RAW) files..I also have Nikons Picture project, which does limited basic adjustments, and I have Nikons Capture, which I havent used yet..

Dawn B 212 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You get the same frames per second Gambler on high speed. I use the software that came with the camera, the Canon photo professional. Thanks for your comments. Dawn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry Gambler, I misunderstood what your wrote. I reckon you get around 10/12 on a maximum burst in RAW, probably 5 frames per second on high speed setting, perhaps a little less. A lot depends on your CF card, the write speed etc..

doxhope 2 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 How many frames per second and frame bursts do you lose when you shoot continuously in RAW on a 40D ? If you're going to buy a new Canon D-SLR Darcy I think all are suppiled with the software to convert RAW files . And they are bleedin massive ! Yip your right matie, canon supply the software with the camera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tis TM 8 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm completely lost on the technical speak of this thread :wacko: ... but those shots are stunning Dawn, I love how the water shinning on the beak is so well picked up. Hopefully one day, I'll get the time to be able to do a college course on digital photography........ till then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
