Butch, My 990 was my introduction to digital. I had it dropped and got a 995 as a replacement. I have never shot tiff with these. Always jpeg fine or lesser. For what I wanted it worked fine except for one instance when I did not use fine.
As to the size limitation of the CF, it should go up to the FAT16 limitation. I can toss my 1GB into my 995 if you wish to verify. This was one of the reasons to go with a CF-using camera rather than SmartMedia... Never adjusted exposure. Though, once I got the Optio S I figured out that the Pentax gave better color rendition than the Nikon - by a little bit. Hope this is helpful, C�sar -- -----Original Message----- -- From: Butch Black [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 10:02 PM -- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Subject: OT New Toy -- -- -- Hi Gang -- -- An old photographer buddy of mine just purchased a Digital -- Rebel for himself -- and a C***N A something for his wife and gave me his old -- N***N 990, a camera -- he could never get to do what he wanted.
