>Too bad for my poor 4GB CF cards :( I filled one up in 2 days of casual shooting.
This is about my schedule, ~2-4 days of general carry and just playing around with the camera, if there's nothing in particular I'm shooting. Just load it off when you're done, or when you know you'll need the space. It's all good.
>>159366 >Is RAW really that much better than JPEG?
Yes, in the same way a negative is better than a Polaroid.
>What are the differences, besides quality and file size?
1. Flexibility. You can get the image to look exactly like you want it, whatever amount of contrast and color and so on. JPEGs are relatively stuck at how you shot them, i.e. pretty much how the marketers, software engineers, and programmers who did the firmware for the camera figure the average user of the camera would want an average shot to be converted.. They can be tweaked, but not as much, and they lose even more image quality in the process.
2. This plays into flexibility, but they push much better than JPEGs.
3. This goes into image quality, but they have more dynamic range.
4. If you mess up exposure or white balance or whatever, you're generally covered for all the above reasons.
5. Decide you want a photograph differently than you did a year ago when you took it? Or you've got a better raw converter now? Or you want more or less noise reduction for a different print size? All kosher with raw files.
>Can they be used on Mac?
Yep. For some reason, Macs are the industry standard for any sort of graphic design, photography, etc. I use Windows XP Professional. It doesn't really matter.
