Note to self...

[vonDrehle]

When photographing things like graduations and family events do NOT, I repeat do NOT shoot in raw. They will all want copies of EVERY SINGLE SHOT and you will have to go in and convert every single one of them!

Hope that helps someone in the future.

Kinda the same when shooting with film when everyone there knows you're gonna develop & print them at home!

Or use Apple's aperture and work with RAW files as if they were JPEGS

Or buy a 1D that can shoot both RAWs and JPEGs at the same time

Or save your money and just do what you said.

That's very thoughtful!

I've gone through life learning from other peoples mistakes & not my own, and so far I've managed to not crash any motorbikes, break any bones or end up in prison!

What do you mean? There was that one time in Mexico when you and the old lady at the bar...oh that's right, you said you never wanted to even think about that again. Sorry.

I was refering to the incident with the Vicars daughter and the two chickens.........(Edited to avoid incriminating anyone again! )

I forgot about that!!!! Man, that was some fun. Remember when she came downstairs wearing the hardhat and toolbelt? Then she...oh that's right, I think you wanted to forget that one too.

you'd have to convert to JPEG to print anyway...and you can't do heavy editing in aperture, just basic stuff...

and you don't have to have a 1d to shoot RAW+JPG. I'm pretty sure that all of canon's prosumer dSLRs have that option...

hah, good point!

in some situations, you could just say no
