Digital photography

I recently started shooting in RAW. Capture One won't recognise the RAW files and the Canon software is wank. Suggestions?

Photo Mechanic + Lightroom should see you fine.

What are peoples thoughts on buying a second hand slr? I'm a little wary but the savings are good and mean I could pretty much step up a level in camera.

Specifically thinking about a D700 or possibly a 5D mark ii, thought the 5D means switching to Canon and losing compatibility with my film stuff

Nowt wrong with second hand camera, especially old pro bodies as they last longer. Just be wary of how much use they'd had, but you can tell this by shutter accusations.

Mind you I'd wait to see how much the new Nikon D600 will cost.
