Hi all,

I haven't been too active in here recently but this thread brings up a
question.... for Larry Bolch on this..I think we discussed it before I'm not
sure..does shooting in raw mode give more than 8 bits of color depth with
the cp5k series of cameras? My guess is no...the hardware is designed for 8
bits of depth...so other than minimal jpeg artifacts(which has been
discussed to to death)... is there any advantage? You can work in a 12 bit
space for rework in some software is all I seem to remember..but the basic
image captured only has 8 bits of depth..(i.e. 256 levels of any color)
correct? Got a wedding shoot in a few weeks and am wondering if I shoot use
raw for any images....

  I have Raw mode on my Coolpix 5000 through the updated firmware and it
  works great for Macro photography where colour is required, Bibble gives
  me very Velvia like colors. I do have an 885 and would love to see how
  that goes with RAW witht his software. The 885 does a great job of color
  correction so it would be interesting to see how it fares on this!

  Anyone here tried using RAW format on their coolpix

  I stumbled across this link on the Vuescan web site:
  http://e2500.narod.ru/raw_format_e.htm

  Looks like it could be a recipe for disaster if you get it wrong.

  I wonder what the advantages might be?

  Cheers

  John
