More specifically, it's a Canon Raw file from one of the newer models. Don, it's probably from your G9!

:D

Also the same as from my Canon 30D. My G6 produces CRW file extensions.

Interestingly, not all CR2 files are the same - hence the ongoing need for Adobe to issue new versions of ACR and LR. I've had four cameras with CR2 files: 30D, 40D, G9, and G10; all different. Most recently, the G10 CR2 files wouldn't open with ACR 5.1; had to wait for 5.2. Constant tinkering on the part of the manufacturers...

Thanks Susan, Chuck and John, you know every day Is a proof that I just can't live without you guys. :woohoo:
So CR = Canon Raw.

Chuck, is there such a diference between the G9 and the G10 that move you to buy it?
:thanks:

Don, the G10 has a wider wide angle: 28 mm equivalent for the G10 vs. 35 mm for the G9. The tradeoff is that the G10 has a shorter 'reach' at the long end. Not sure I can say it was worth the $$ - time will tell.

p.s. I still have the G9, so I've preserved my options.... :D

Thank's Chuck, BTW did you know that the difference between a 35mm and a 24mm is 2 steps back and you get the same angle of view. I learned this at a Nikon School in 1972. So I asume that the difference between a 28 and a 24 will be one step back.
