Recently i just purchased a Canon 10D, and have been overwhelming

happy with both image quailty and camera design. I usually shoot

everything in raw mode, and do an initial processing through the

Canon software. However, when i then save the image as a 16 bit

Tiff, i cannot make certain changes in photoshop, or drag the image

into a different document without changing it to 8 bit, thus cutting

the file size in half.

This may be a basic question, but i was wondering if there was an

advantage to 16 bit over 8, and when using the image in another

document, should i be concerned about the downgrade of file size

that takes place when i convert it to 8 bits.

thanks alot

I know this discussion has been proposed many times in the past, but

I plan to buy a DSLR within the week. For awhile now, I have been

leaning towards the Nikon D100, mainly because I've worked with

Nikon systems in the past, and have read good things about the

camera. However, in my last week of research, I've found that the

Canon 10D is equally matched, and may be considered to alot of

people, a better camera. and now, Nikon is coming out with the D70,

an almost cheaper version of the D100. Does now Nikon plan to

replace the D100 soon? and is it worth my money to buy this year old

camera only for a new better one to come out in acouple months? or

is it better to go with the newer canon 10D? any advice would be

greatly appreciated.
