About a year ago I did do my own tests to find out what the latitude of the
raw files was/is, if you where satisfied with the results that is great, I
was not, I found that you could get a reasonable file with a raw file that
had been underexposed by about 1.5 stops and about half that with an over
exposed file.
I do have to say that the Adobe Raw file converter does do a better job at
this then cannons, but still I do not like Adobes converter over all.

So perhaps I missunderstand here, your telling me that if I shoot a shot
way under exposed at say 1/250th at what ever f stop I can go into the raw
file converter and change it after the fact, by altering the ISO setting?
I dont think so, not and get a good print.
Well, 2 stops overexposed looked good on the monitor and printed fine with
the Fuji machine at Wally Wal*Mart.
In ACR you just adjust the Exposure slider after you launch in image from
the File Browser window into the Adjustment window.
Try it. Have faith. Nothing you do to the RAW file will permanently
change it. Don't be afraid.
The experimental method is very valuable here.
