When I was an aircraft Engine Fitter in the RAF, every hangar sported posters that said "Don't assume - Check!". Could do with a few of those around here ...

So today I was reading reviews on my lately-acquired SD15 and came across:

"The reduced-resolution Raw modes are also no longer listed on the spec sheet and hence possibly removed from the camera, with the native 2,460 x 1,720 pixel resolution now the only listed Raw option."

Having owned just about every Sigma model prior to Quattro, that came as a bit of a shock! So, in a fit of disbelief, I picked up the SD15 and got going on the Quick-set button and, sure enough, if I select RAW only, the resolution icon opposite grays out.

Not that I have much use for 1/2 or 2/3 size images from a 2640x1760px camera but still ...

Ted,

Well known to10 year old SD15 owners.
