Re: Why and How I switched to Canon (for those who care) long

i keep my files as 8-bit at double resolution too. that, along with the RAW 
files, serves me well enough.

I don't have an extreme setup. Just a dual 1.25 G4 with 1.5 gig of ram. 
Conversions are very rapid. I store files on two firewire drives with about 
350 gig total capacity and back them up on dvd. Some shots are stored only 
as 72 meg 8-bit, but I keep all the RAW files as weil. I do two backups of 
shots I consider extremely important. I'm going to add another 500 gig 
firewire drive when I start running short on space. Drives are relatively 
inexpensive these days.
