I guess you really don't have anything better to do.
What you said might be true if the only way these cameras stored data
was in "RAW" format. Fortunately, this is not the case.
JPEG is an inferior option, especially for pro users, as you know. The
user really is corralled here (and in other cases).
I agree with this 100%, for the same reasons you're aware of.
However, at issue here is whether or not the images will be LOST simply
because they're stored digitally, which is, at this point, all but
impossible.
