The big thing for me would be how fast does it save?
I have a CoolPix 995 and saving as a TIFF takes
FOREVER. If I could shoot a RAW image on the 995 that
saves in the same time as a JPEG and then convert it
to TIFF via software, I'd be happy.
Are these the same RAW images that the pro line saves
as NEF files, or is this a completely different
format? It would be nice to see Nikon put out an
offical ROM update to support this format.
