Today's questions
HD or SD?
Better-quality prints of sizes 8x10 and larger. Here are my choices: Canon PowerShot S80 - 8 megapixels, but sadly does not shoot in RAW, only JPEG... - OR - Canon PowerShot G2 - only 4 megapixels, but can shoot in RAW so no compression... I guess my question boils down to, how important is shooting in RAW when it comes to image quality, particularly with larger print sizes? And are there any other specs I should pay attention to? (I'm also curious about this for when I eventually shop for a new camera!) Thanks for your help! Love the podcast. - Annie Brooklyn, NY
Senior Editor Lori Grunin has been covering digital imaging for two decades, but her memory's kind of sketchy on the details. You can hear about it every week on Indecent Exposure, the podcast she co-hosts with Matt Fitzgerald. 
I am also leaning towards disagreeing with the advise about underexposing. Yes, if you have a good dSLR you can do this. But if you have a point and shoot and try to get details out of the shadows afterwards, what you will wind up with is a lot of noise.
Now, since this is more for dSLR owners, I don't know if it is too specific, I have used Split Neutral Density filters in the past when trying to shoot these landscape shots so that you can tone down the skys, and keep them from getting blown out, while still getting the details in the shadows.
I check to see if it was the earphones or sound cards but other audio files sounded louder at a much lower setting.

- Apologies for the mis-spelling of "check" instead of "checked".
