Bob,
Yes, the RAW mode would satisfy most of the complaints I aired.  However, in
RAW, close to 18MB are expended for each shot.  With the 256 card I had that
would only be 12ish shots which would not be enough.  Next time I will
venture out with a Gig card and try my luck again.  I am beginning to
suspect that I will stay with film for a few more years at least.  It is a
classic time/money scenario.  I already have the film equipment so it only
takes time to process and scan.

If I spent 3-9000 dollars I could go digital in a way that equals what I get
with film and avoid the processing/scanning loop.  The high end figure comes
from the price of a 1Ds which is the closest equivalent for film.

Thanks,

Don
