Matt, you will enjoy the EOS 300D
I have had most of my success simply leaving it on manual, under exposing 1/3 stop, and shooting RAW files.
There has been a lot of contested debate on this
forum about which mode to shoot in.... JPEG, TIFF, RAW etc.
RAW is as good as it gets, simple.
Photoshop CS Raw Image manipulator is damn good! I used to use CS, but have gone to Adobe.
I have some
Flinders Ranges shots ( Pano's ), which were shot at 2100 hrs during January this year. Each exposure was around say 45 seconds @ F24.
After bringing up in CS, I have some wonderful shots, to say the least.
I use 3 x 512 MB CF crds, the fast ones. I have been warned off the 1 GB cards.
I also transfer to an iPod via a Belkin Reader. Apple is releasing a dedicated USB port for ALL cameras which simply allows you to connect your camera directly to your iPod, not sure if RAW is supported, but I think it is, because iPhoto's latest release allows RAW to be viewed ( not manipulated ).
Also, download Adobe's latest free offering..... RAW DNG. This is going to be the NEW benchmark for archiving all RAW files.
