the 8-vs 16-bit issue was what made me look at the SE version instead. i see now from the new data sheet comparing the four versions that there isn't nearly as much difference anymore. i wish it produced Photoshop files directly instead of TIFF-16. OTOH, i have a lot of Photoshop plugins to automate much of my processing and so it's not such a big deal to work directly in Photoshop one file at a time. that plus although i shoot a lot of images, i filter a lot out while editing.
