Could be -- but regardless, if the computer is too slow to run the
software for the one file format and not the other, I'm going to prefer
to work with the one that runs faster. Buying a new computer isn't a
high priority for me because it would be solely to get more speed when
using RAW -- a format that I don't use, because if I'm going for a high
quality image I'll be shooting 6x7. The digital stuff is all about
turnaround speed for me.
(Yes, I realize that a lot of people like to shoot RAW and think my
reasons for not shooting RAW are stupid. Hoo-ray. But I cannot
wirelessly send off a RAW file between innings very easily -- now that
the Rogers Centre has added WiFi for press, I can actually just pop the
SD card out of my camera and into my Palm, attach the file to an e-mail
and send it right from the camera bay. Progress! Who needs a laptop?)
