Gosh girls ... I've gotten such good advice! And, the examples will put me to shame for sure ... but I will try. You gals are the best!
I now must figure out how to set my camera for RAW & JPG images before I need to use the camera. If I can do that I can send the JPG back to friends and family and then learn about RAW when I get home in a couple of weeks. That should cover my bases. I ordered a 16G card to be sent directly to my DD's home so I should be able to handle it.
Should I take my card to Ritz camera and have it burned to disks rather than loading them to the laptop, or can my laptop hold RAW images?
