Interesting reading for sure found below

I think that’s the same one I mentioned here last September. If not, please let me know as I don’t have the bandwidth to download it right now and check :(
The link in your original thread has moved and cant check. Description sounds similar so it might well be.
Apologies for posting the same thing but I only found it a day or so ago (what being the newbie on the forum and all :oops: )
It is more relevant to Canon users. :( What about it, Nikon?

No harm in posting the same thing a second time – it means more people will see it. Besides, there are other newbies here who would not have seen my original post and who may be interested in it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to go and download a large file I already had. Didn’t know the original link had been made redundant either.
As to later question posed by p&s, “what about Nikon?” Valid point. But it is a Canon document on Canon’s corporate site! Nevertheless it still makes for interesting reading even for non-Canon folk.
