Hi everyone,

Just wondering what the pixel depth is on my S30 when I shoot a RAW image. Is it worth saving as 16-bit TIFF or is there no more information than for 8-bit.

Thanks,
Malcolm Haylock
 
Don't know about the S30, but somewhere I read/heard that the G3 and S45 collect raw images with 12 bits/pixel. Given that, I usually convert into 16 bit Tiffs, and only to 8 bit Tiffs or JPEGs after I get the levels and curves set where I want them in PS. Don't know if I am wasting time and disk space, or not...

If I'm not mistaken, the G3/S45/S50 (the cameras with the digic processor) do collect raw images at 12bpp, but I believe the previous models (S30/S40) are at 10bpp.
