Generally for motorsport I now shoot JPEG but occasionally shoot RAW if the lighting is tricky.

I'll check it out properly when I get a bit of spare time :)

I also forgot to say, the 70 -300 loses sharpness above 200mm anyway, so an interpolated upsized crop from the 70-200 will be sharper than the 70-300 at 300mm anyway.

I upgraded from a 70-300IS to a 70-200 f4L, the difference is staggering, contrast and sharpness are greatly improved. I don't miss the IS for motorsports but it would be useful for non moving objects.

I would say go for a 5d as long as you have suitable lens(es)

Might be better asking in the video section. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=107

Hi, I've got one of these. Yes the display can be switched off and just have an image review after shot. The image in the viewfinder is slightly smaller than what the sensor see's through the lens so composition can be a bit tricky. The AF is quite slow compared to an SLR and the time...

When you go back to photoshop, select filter / silver efex pro (the top of the list) and it should apply the effect.

Yes that was user error, I only picked a quick shot to show noise levels at 800 ISO ;)

Here's an image taken at ISO 800 the 1st is the full image resized to fit here, the 2nd is a 100% crop of the centre. Images deleted Not up to SLR quality but I think it's pretty good for a compact.

I downloaded a codec pack last night that covers most manufacturer's RAW files. Windows gallery can now see my Canon RAW files Link here http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
