Food for thought

Hi Mike,

I got the D70 camera a week ago, yesterday, so I've been playing around with it. Why aren't you shooting Raw (NEF) or Raw + jpeg? The Raw format gives you the ability to manipulate the image with no deterioration, like a jpeg which loses data everytime you save it. The camera comes bundled with Nikon Capture, an editing program for Raw files (30 day free trial). Make sure you download Nikon View off their website first.

My plan is to buy a portable burner which can burn cd's directly from a memory card. I bought a 512 mb card since the burner burns in one shot. Since a cd is 800 mb max, 512 will fit, but i gig won't. Also, I don't have to worry about loading up my hard drive or the effects of magnetic wands at airports (which will erase data).
