Prolly a good assessment for stills... I have an (old now) DX7000 with a honking big Sigma Omicron 150-600mm lens (looks like a Bazooka LOL) but I got it for sport photos mostly of my son and his team ski racing ... with 7fps you could cover most of a GS or SL race from one spot very well... worked well for hockey also .. anything fast... Yes I took mostly RAW also.. Lots of memory cards LOL

faststone.org the above, a photography software program of benefit to the casual photographer & it's free. FastStone Image Viewer I download all my photos, camera & phone, to my laptop. My camera, I shoot "Full Frame- RAW", mainly straightening, cropping, re- sizing, doing a little light/ color adjustments as needed. This photo was taken hand- held, +90f.. the ground, the heat of an oven. The pyramids are at the edge of the Eastern Sahara, greater- Cairo the local. I shot a lot of pics figuring I'll get one that I will like. My problem, the camel pics appeared 'touristy'.. cell phones, t- shirts & baseball hats. I wanted something unique. With some cropping I ended up with a classical photo.
