I'm getting ready to shoot a wedding and
I was wondering for those of you who have a
D70 or even if you don't. Do you think if I
shoot in "Fine" format that the prints will
turn out good.
If I shoot in "Raw" I won't be
able to shoot as many and I don't have a lot
of money to buy more cards.
Thanks in Advance! |

Are you getting paid to shoot this wedding?

Its for my cousins wedding!
Her Mom...(my aunt) gave me money to
buy a 1GB card I only had a 256MB.
My main concern is I just want the pictures to turn
out as good as film prints shooting in "Fine" format. |

Can you possibly borrow someone's laptop or other device to dump the cards to as you shoot? That might be a solution - it is what I did when I went to an all-morning photo shoot (not wedding) and only had a 512 and a 256 at the time. Just an idea. I don't have any experience with Nikon specifically but I do know that if I am unsure of my lighting RAW is definitely the way to go on my Canon.

The question is are you confortable with working with RAW files. If you are shooting RAW you will have more latitude in correcting white balance, colour casts, exposure etc. But it takes time. If you shoot JPG then the post-processing will be less but you don't have as much control on the output. If you are worried about running out of space then you should get a portable storage device like Kanguru media exchange or image tank etc...these will allow you to store up to 40GB of photos.

Yeah...bring a laptop. I think you'll be much happier with being able to 'dump' the pictures when you get a spare minute. And a minute is all that it takes...My opinion.
Edit: Oh, and I meant to imply that you should try and shoot in the least compressed mode if possible.
