Hello, Thomas:

Oh, then, I'm so very lucky that my Kodak P850 can do both TIFF and
RAW, in addition to JPEG. g


I didn't say NO cameras use TIFF. Most that suppot RAW do not, but obviously
many do. I am not sure why one would want to shoot TIFF in camera though [as
opposed to RAW] unless they simply don't want to use the RAW converson tools.
I think I saw recently that the upcoming Nikon D3 will still suppport TIFF.
