Jorge, thanks for the expanded answer - watch out Stephen Marsh! <G> I learned a lot from it even though I like to think I know everything and then some! <G> > Of course, I am saying all this, based on the basic idea that you purchased > the fastest available CF card reccomended for your camera, so file transfer > speed is NOT dependent on the Card. 16x Minimum I would say, 24x / 32x > ideal. I'm veering towards the S2 but not making my mind up till after I've had a play with it and the D60. I know one or two cards have been mentioned but which are the fastest then? Are there any recommended cards for the S2, D60 and D100 or doesn't the make of the camera and model make a difference? > The Photoshop Plug In to deal with Raw files was presented by John Knoll, > one of the original creators of Photoshop, in the Expo in NY and I would > guess, taking into account the Beta state of the code, that it could be > ready to go by February( this is my guess, maybe it comes earlier), and it > is not going to be a free download either, but anyway much less expensive > than the Phase One software and with the ability to recognize files from > different cameras, something Phase one is reducing to a minimum, by reasons > only they can understand. Is it possible to find out or is it already known whether the plug-in can deal with S2 RAW files? DPreview seems to think that the honeycombed sensors may cause a problem for software writers. --/ Shangara Singh http://www.e-pixel.co.uk Adobe Certified Expert ~ Photoshop 7.0 PortfoliosOnCD for Photographers http://www.portfoliosoncd.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
