I did not say that they would be the same. The CCDs in the cameras are different and obviously there is some processing done in just acquiring the image from the CCD. This doesn't mean that RAW gives one many more processing alternatives than using the JPEG. This is not much different then being able to get many different results from Tri-X depending on which developer one used and if they pushed or pulled the processing of the film or not. alex
