I still shoot medium format occasionally and that's added to the archives of negatives and transparencies that I scan when needed. I do, however, do most my photography today with a Canon 20D, storing in RAW format. I use Capture One, a great Raw image converter from Phase One. I like it much better than Photoshop's converter feature.
