D80 UPGRADE TO D7000 or D300S

[MattUK]

The buffer on the D7000 can store approx 10 14bit RAW files shot in continuous mode. Not sure why you'd want to shoot in TIFF - it's an ungainly format without the adjustability aspect of RAW, or the compression aspect of JPG (to a certain extent)

Thanks for the 10 shots info that would be more than enough for me especially for the football photos

Can I assume that you have a D7000 ??

Just thought that they might offer a good mid range compromise from jpeg to raw especially when cropping close in

You should be able to convert from RAW to TIFF in ViewNX 2, which should come free with the camera or download from the Nikon website.

yeah, I've got a D7000.

Tiff tend to be high quality files, but they embed the camera settings onto the file in the same way that JPG does, but the file size is much larger. If you have the space for Tiff, you might as well shoot in RAW. Besides, the D7000 doesn't save in tiff. It's JPG, RAW or both

Thanks to all who replied to my question about an upgrade from a D80

Finally went for the D7000

Feels good and the menus are easier for me to get to grips with

Just got to get out and start snapping and experimenting

Again many thanks
