JPEG's mostly, but a couple RAW's (I've deleted them though). You sure there's no NR on RAW? I know Sony at least does NR on RAW's, and Canon does some on-chip NR that affects both formats.
The E-3 did not impress me at all. Poor handling and IQ appeared equal to the last-generation 10MP bodies based on the shots I've seen. -Adam On 12/8/07, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are u looking at JPEGs?
