After a coulpe of weeks of reading others opions I have finally made the transition to RAW... Here is one of my first attempts. I actually took a couple of shots as JPEGS and then switched to RAW. It is so nice to be able to fix up with the RAW files

This looks like the toll booths on the Gateway Bridge about 7.00am every morning!
Great shot Mal.
Once you're RAW...there is no more.

My only trouble is that my wallet will be a little lighter as I will need to visit Birddog to get a new larger CF card.

Just beware the slight bug in the D70 software that causes it to underestimate the number of shots remaining in RAW... You can usually double the number it states on the top LCD...

Yeah...I have noticed that John. Must be Nikon's way of giving us the worst case scenario and then delivering more than expected. Go figure!!!
