You don't have to make the whole image available for download at full resolution (although, as I mentioned, I should be able to do that on one of my web sites). The whole image at low resolution, and selected areas at full resolution, should give a basis for comparison. I won't be able to put up such a RAW comparison, though, because I don't have ready access to other digital cameras. I have used them in the past, and still have large several ultrafine JPEG images from both a Canon 10D and a Nikon D100. I'll put a selection of those up, together with some *ist-D images, once my camera arrives. It won't be as useful as it could be because images will be of different subjects taken at different times.
