| I haven't tried shooting straight black and white yet, how effective is it with/without the "color filter" parameters? Better to just desaturate and tweak in PS? |

Though the 20D has a ton of great features, this one makes me scratch my head. I understand that it makes it "quick and easy" to do B+W, but, IMO, you can achieve much better results in post-processing, where you can choose how much of each color channel and how to combine them. You also have the choice of keeping a color version; you can have your cake and eat it too.

There's a local photo contest that I have entered twice in the past, which has a rule stipulating that no post processing is allowed, but anything you can do with the features of the camera is okay. Other contestants who have had the ability to digitally do B&W in camera have had some extra flexibility that I wished I had with my 10D. That's the only reason I have some interest in this feature of the 20D.

One advantage is being able to review the shot in black and white at the time of 'exposure' this could be helpful... personally I convert in PS.

| If you shoot with Raw + JPEG do you get a colour Raw file and mono JPEG? |

Interesting question! I would guess "yes" but it would be just that, an educated guess.

The nature of the RAW file is such that it stores the full sensor data recorded, plus all the camera settings at the time. So yes, the RAW would still contain the full colour information, along with processing instructions to convert it to grayscale with the relevant filters. The JPEG would be the result of combining the raw data with the processing instructions, so the jpeg would be grayscale.
