Quote: P7700 I think.
But didn't LenShepheard say that it was a different type of Raw file from the normal NEF?

Yes I did - even though my name is different - the P7700 is NRW.
It seems NRW is OK for global adjustments similar to those in Nikon's free View NX2 - but for any local adjustment in Capture NX2 or other software the file, according to the instruction manual, has to be first converted to jpeg.
8 bit jpeg is not the same as 14 bit NEF
I understand (but cannot confirm) the RAW format used in the Canon G series also has to be converted to jpeg to be accepted by other software.

Sorry Len you are wrong on that one, the Canon S and G series (well G10 onwards and S90 onwards at least) all produce RAW file formats that can be edited just like their DSLR series. so you can edit them in Photoshop RAW editors, Capture 1 and of course DPP without having to throw away bits and make a JPEG. They turn up as CR2 files.

Its why long term pundit Thom Hogan had Canon not Nikon compacts before he went to m4/3 for portable camera solutions.
