Almost every pro who goes digital says initially that they will try it, but they will continue to use film when it is appropriate. Almost no one ever goes back to film. Even you will be impressed. >PPS >Is the raw really untreated? Does not the camera do some >work before you get even that. I thought (a while back) I read >that they filled in known dead pixels at a quite low level. I think RAW format is just that: straight pixel recording with no processing. While I would actually prefer that dead pixels were somehow compensated for at a low level, people keep talking about testing for dead pixels when the camera arrives. Not that it will do any good, because one of the problems with digital is that pixels do die (very slowly, mind you) over time. pax rand
