Ken - you've crossed the line now. I should report you at least for an ethnic slur. Personal abuse I can handle, but you've referred to my ethnicity.

Moderators - are you reading this?

Bollocks, I was so angry, I've misstyped, should read "...however, unlike you, I'm NOT forcing RAW down people's throats..."

Seriously, get a life

"...So Vlad, Mr. Nice Guy, do you you even have a clue on the answer?.."

Yes, I do, Mr Ken Papai, the RAW Nazi.

As I've been informing you from time to time, I shoot RAW almost exclusively however, unlike you, I'm forcing RAW down people's throats.

I shoot mostly portraits and/or BW (yes in RAW) and sRGB served me well so far. However I did have troubles with some colorful/contrasty landscapes/sunsets/etc and I wish I used Adobe RGB and the time. Next sunset will be post-processed into Adobe RGB - you bet. FRom RAW, yes Sir!

I'm learning every day. You on the other hand appear to be beyond hope in your mindless policing of RAW isage. Get a life.

"...If you shoot straight JPG only (with such a nice camera, sinful)..."

For Pete's sake, the question was "sRGB vs AdobeRGB", NOT the old tired jpeg/raw boondoggle.

"...On my screen they look a bit grainy..."

Try printing one. Chances are your prints will be just fine. if so, don't use any NR. I've printed beautiful noiseless 8x12" at ISO 1600.

BTW, how did you manage to shoot ISO 1000 on a 20D? It shoots 800, 1600, 3200 but not 1000.

You're right Puppy. I guess I had a rough day. Sorry if I've offended anyone.

Cheers

Christi, your daily questions are not only boring but indicate of the following trends:

- Abuse of Photo.net resources. When you post a question what does the system ask you twice before you hit the submit biutton? SEARCH. It asks you to search. All your quuestions have been asked millions of times before.

- Patronising sexism. If you had a male name you'd receive little more than RTFM responses from all those wonderful blokes out there.

- Selfishness. "I'm buying a camera!" Who cares?! Show us your pictures, ask interesting questions about composition, technical aspects of photography, not moronical "Ok, the camera arrived, nor what" nonsense.

I will try to ignore your posts, but it's damn hard not to see them, you're a fast typer.

I suggest Christi's profile is renamed into "FAQ - buying a dSLR" (aka Chriti Jone's Diary).

This way christies of this worls would not have to ask the same "Ok I got the camera now what" queestions individually, all they have to do is to read the FAQ diaries.

Here you'll find an in-depth review, samples, discussion forum and the like: </p>

Steve, you're not the guy from "Austin Powers" who was frozen for 30 years?

Sorry, couldn't help:)

Search Photo.net for "ppi" - the first entry is Bob Atkins' article "Display, Printing, DPI and PPI":

Marlene - I think you have a soul mate - check out Christi Jones' daily posts, she's a few days in front of your cycle:

</p>

<a href="http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=2114870">Christi Jones' profile</a></p>

So far she's probably covered most of your potential questions, including the following:

</p>

20D quick question; 20D or 350 XT ?'s about lenses; One last decision...need advice; First DSLR purchase ....after research need suggestions; Close to a decision but a couple more questions...; Ok, its done! I ordered...; Ok, I gave the camera and these lenses, what else?; My 30D arrived today, still waiting on the lenses

</p>

"...there are no pictures when i'm reloading..."

Peter - I find the opposite is true for me. When I have no camera with me I often see more opportunities. I think it's because when I have my camera with me I'm looking FOR things, without the camera I'm looking AT things. Thus, I need to start looking AT things and opportunities will come.

"...alas, I have not seen a camera that does this. *sigh* ideally I could shoot RAW + Super Fine JPEG..."

Jim - most EOS dSLRs can shoot RAW + any size JPG you want. Eg, my 20d can shoot RAW + Large Fine JPG. Or RAW + Small Fine JPG, etc

"... my Elan 7e is NOT for sale..."

Ah, if only I was haf as smart. I dumped my 7e (30) is a hurry last year, what a mistake.

"...what does the client get. a cd of raw files or tiffs or jpegs?.."

Walter - excellent point. I guess the client gets the final product - JPGs.

Good question, I wonder myself. I loved the ECF on my EOS 30.

Maybe, it has something to do with a smaller/dimmer cropped d-viewfinder...
