I may, note I said may shoot all jpgs this weekend. I'm covering an event for a friends non profit. The images will never see print and are for web only. Well maybe someone will want a print but nobody ordered one from last year so........
My shooting count will be maybe 400-500 images. That many in NX will take a long time to convert to jpg, ACR will be faster plus a jpg is a jpg no matter how I view it so NX isn't a must.
ACR is fine for all the ISO 200 bounce flash images and I've seen that the jpgs at even ISO 12,800 are absolutely completely usable right from the camera. I will also be shooting the musical act, Eddie Money, at ISO 3200-6400 is my guess.
So my plan is to edit in Photo Mechanic and finish in ACR. I may never even need CS3. Besides, with two 4 gig cards in the D3 I think I can cover the whole gig.
In general I'm RAW only or RAW plus a little jpg for a client.
