Immediate help please!

hey everyone.

I am finishing up my trip here in the UK by spending a few days in london then flying back to the states. I started reading about RAW format during this vacaton of mine but do not have any programs on me that I could use for practice. Everything is back at home. Ex. Photoshop, Lightroom. I think that im convinced RAW is the way to shoot but I dont want to ruin my chances of getting any good shots during my stay in London.

I was thinking that Id shoot everything twice. Once in JPEG and another in RAW. It sounds like alot of switching back and worth. What are your opinions on this? Im just a beginner to the DSLR world and am running around with a 400d w/ 17-85mm

Thanks

Your 400d has a setting called RAW +L which automatically takes both a RAW and a JPEG at the same time, no need to shoot twice.

oooooh. cool! thanks for that Hank! =]
