Great stuff Dawnb... :thumbs: 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..

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 :laugh:

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.. :thumbs:

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..

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 ! :D

 

Yip your right matie, canon supply the software with the camera :thumbs:

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 :notworthy:
