The Canon files don't get compressed much compared with Nikon or Olympus RAW files, but I figure having one more losslessly compressed copy in another format that might be more easily readable 20 years from now can't hurt. I know most of my commercial photos will be uninteresting years from now, but I want the family photos to survive, so that my kids and grandkids can make the choice to dump them or not. -- * Henning J.
