Good question! My impression is that it is better than a slide, maybe as
good as a print but to get an accurate idea, I would need to take the image
same under the same conditions with each which I haven't done. Will get
back to you on this after I have tried it.

Three sets of parameters can be set, in each of which the contrast can be
set to low medium or high, the sharpness can be set to l, m or h and the
colour saturation can be set to l, m or h. On the other hand, if you shoot
in raw, the full information is contained in the image and these settings
can be individually set afterwards.

The thumbnails are very good at showing what you got and can be "zoomed" in
on to show the image in nine full frame segments, ie you can look at one
ninth of the image as a full frame. However they are thumbnails and you
won't know for sure if you got it tack sharp until you bring it up on the
computer monitor.

All of the above :o) Having a 1 Gig card does encourage one to keep
marginal shots till one gets home.
