Daniel From my first Canon D30 to the last Canon 1Ds -up to the launching of the R digital back- I've shot many, many thousand pictures. As an example today I've seen a public exhibition in Bilbao, where they showed some hundred pictures of events commemorating the 700th anniversary of the town foundation. Half of the pictures showed in this exhibition were mine. None in RAW. Simply I have no time for a accurate workflow. May be I'm wrong but I prefer a good work just in time than a perfect work in delay. For my personal pictures I think that RAW is too much. Perhaps and however owning several Leicas I'm not a perfectionist. Felix
