Ditto that

Dave - do you know that I can't remember what happens with Raw+jpeg on my 350D??

There is one anomaly I discovered, that no-one else apparently had - , but, every RAW file has an embedded JPEG (IN the 350Ds case it's 1536 pixels wide - this is what you see on the screen of the camera and use to look at before opening the RAW on the PC) - anyway, shoot an image in Tv - and the 350 embeds a full size (3456 pixels wide) jpeg!!!

I only noticed by file size ( I very rarely come close to filling a card) when viewing on the PC and wondering why some shots were way up at 12meg!

Nothing changed in the firmware since then so it's a 'watcher' for 350D users.

Hey guys to put you out of your missery, i went to John Lewis' n looked there (about as useless as PCW), then later in the day found Jessops, looked, had a play with the Olypus E410 and also the Nikon D40X... Well walked out about an hour later with one Nikon D40X Click Me, with the Sigma 55-200mm at half price + 10% off Click Me and a bag for it all to go in! I chose the Nikon over the olympus for a number of reasons more on the fact that i could have the larger lens in the package and still be cheeper than the olympus with an equilivent lens... Now i have to wait till chrimbo to get my mits fully on it...

Hi Chis,

I don't know much about the D40X (will read the spec) but half price + 10% is a great deal. Have you got a smaller lens with it too??

Edit..
Checked the links and I see you bought the camera with lens for a good price and the Sigma at halfprice+10% so yup.. a very good deal. I doubt you'll be disappointed ;-)

Excellent Chris

That Sigma Lens is rather nice as well!

well a big thanks goes to you guys! Expect some shots from coningsby next year as ill pop down to try it out and settings...

well done Chris!............. now go shoot something and post some pics!
got a tripod? ........best when shooting 1/60th and under ........try and keep the f stop at around f/8 or 11 to use the best part of the glass.

way to go on making them sharpen the pencil to get the sale!!
