In my gallery there is only about 3 images done in RAW. So I do not have a prob with jpg. I am just experimenting now. There is many better things I can say about the quality,until I have to resize and compress for here. makes not much dif. One thing I have found ,but will not make too harsh a decision yet that with my 8mp nikon 8700 it has real good images for stills and nature. Macros and the sort. But now with this D70 and 6.1 mp I do see a dif on the large size. Thing is I would not trade the speed now for anything. And the sound of the shutter I missed that. rapid fire again. RAW with the 8700 I could take a shot then wait 20 secs for next one. This D70 is like take it right away now. So I don't miss action. OK getting off topic....back to TIFF and jpg.. While you are experimenting Sheila....keep to jpg, you will get many more shots on a card and learn way more!
