Hi all, Breif intro from a newbie.
I'm semi-pro, building a business alongside my other incomes and consider myself lucky to draw a wage from the two things I love doing. Been in lurk mode for the last few weeks, but time to pose a question: Been happily chugging along with my Nikon F801's, knowing that digital needs to be bought. I had a big pause when I saw David Townend's postimg about his D100 in RAW mode. Is it really THAT slow? I'm of the belief that a RAW file is like a negative - as much info as possible is captured. You might not need the info for that particular use, but who's to say you might need it later? Best to shoot in RAW mode and de-grade the image later, or so I thought.... Given that it fills the buffer so quickly and also that I occassionally shoot a bit of sport, I'm baffled. Does this mean that a D1X is the only way to go? And can I forget the new Kodak DCS14 thingy, as unless the thing has really upped the stakes in processing power, it'll be even slower!! I was thinking of nice big RAW files, lovely prints and being able to use my 24mm as just that, up close in full frame and a reasonable shoot rate. Is that roars of laughter I hear or are my requirements above more than just a wish list? Opinions please...
