Thanks for the info. I see that the Friedman book goes on to talk about IDC a few pages on. It doesn't really make it clear that PMB can only edit JPEG. So I've got the latest versions of everything and I can get to the editing of RAW files in IDC - although from PMB it's fairly tortuous since you s...

Thanks for the reply. I was using the info in Gary Friedman's A700 guide - is this now out of date and do I need to download Lightbox?

I've just started to use RAW on my Sony A700 and I'm trying to edit a RAW picture from Picture Motion Browser. I've selected the picture and then clicked on the EDIT option, expecting a drop down menu of options, but all I get is something telling me the version of the software (2.0). Any ideas what...

I don't know about this company but I suspect they're grey imports if they don't say otherwise. I'd recommend that you look at warehouseexpress.co.uk. They're a very reputable retailer - one of the best - and they do a 25% price beat policy. Their list prices on the Sony are not that low but, parado...

David, you're a star. I think that's the most complete answer to any question I've ever seen. Thanks!

That's interesting - I noticed that the A700 screen looks a lot sharper than the standard ones. I'm still a little confused by the manufacturers' specs though. Sony list the A100/A200 LCD as 230k dots and the A700 LCD as 920k dots - and N*k*n list the D200 as 230k dots and the D300 as 920k dots. Doe...

Thanks for the reply. Does that mean that the A700 LCD has 4 times the number of dots/pixels than the A100, for example? I notice on the Nikon website that the D200 has the LCD specified as 230k dots and the D300 as 921k dots. Yet Canon, for example, list their LCD as 230k pixels. Do they really mea...

A question for David, or any other technical whizz. The A700's LCD is specified as 921k dots in some listings and 921k pixels in others. Are the terms dot and pixel interchangeable, and does this mean that the LCD has double the resolution of a "standard" LCD (235k pixels). Some sites clai...
