Hello, i currently have an olympus 5050z digicam. I have noticed 1 rather irritating factor about the orf raw format. It seems that i have to plug in the camera, else the orf format will not be recognised.
what i really want to be able to do is to get a multi card reader, like usb2.0 or perhaps firewire for the speed, and be able to dl my pictures real fast. this seems to be tough if this camera must be plugged in to dl the .orf files.
Another big problem is when i send pictures in raw to my friends. Does that mean that they cannot open the pictures? i must go through the tedious process of converting each file to jpeg or tiff before sending it over? that is not good. can't possibly lend them the camera.
Anyone has suggestions? i tried to search for ORF driver, but to no avail. only the driver to recognise the camera can be found for win98.
i'm on win2k, no problems with detection.
incase this is important, i use photoshop mainly. with ACR plug-in (supposed to support orf).
thanks.
