One could argue that one waits in seconds and not in megabytes for a buffer to empty. But something else strikes me as rather interesting: is the difference in RAW file size between *istD and D70 really that big? Why would that be so, considering both cameras store basically the same amount of image information? Or don't they? >not >shooting RAW with a DSLR is sacrificing most of the gains over >digital compact camera. I understand we are talking RAW files only. Cheers, Leon
