I learned this lesson on a project that I was working on. About 700
pictures of an event all taken in RAW. Weeks of processing. Images are
great but the time was costly to me.
Also, when taking RAW photo's, you need much more memory. This can be a
major surprise when on a project. I was lucky to have purchased two new
2Gig cards just a week before the project.
