Joe, if I may.... Because if one is printing out using a current top of the line inkjet printer, there is no way that the difference in resolution between RAW and jpeg can be discerned. As has been pointed out to me, RAW gives better post-production possibilities. Not a good enough reason for me to shoot RAW. More care at the taking stage means no problems later. .02, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
