The style of wedding photography is also changed form perfectly posed shots with lightmeters and extra lightning in more spontanious photojournalistic stories.You can't pose spontanious moments, you can't fake a real emotion.
I'm also a wedding photographer, and I also shoot raw. Spontanious moments happen so quickly that you have to respond really fast. It's normal that you miss exposure sometimes, RAW comes in really handy than.Stop living in the past! Accept that things change.
@DriesRengle I was doing photo-journalistic stuff with a medium format and 35mm,and doing 400 shot weddings. I didnt need raw then to get the right exposure and I dont really need raw now that Im using digital. I just judge the light , see where the highlights and shadows are and alter the settings fast, I dont trust auto, aperture priority or whatever exept maybe on an overcast day but not much changes then anyway.
Digital is great but how many use the "M" mode ? Digital makes us lazy.
Yeah, you cannot hate on RAW. It takes for ever, but you can get a really clean, nice looking image. Is it that much better? maybe not, but if you are making huge prints that are going on display in gallery, it would make sense to spend a lot of time making it as good as possible. Who cares anyway... do whatever you like with your camera and have fun.

ADL is a good trick for people who have no interest in craft. If you care about craft, set your exposure tuning to -1.0 EV, shoot 14-bit raw, check the histogram but not the preview image, and dodge-and-burn later in Photoshop.
Shooting RAW is not about it being a crutch, it's to retain the best image possible. When you don't use raw, you are using JPEG compression and there is loss in the data, even in fine.
Pretty much... It's like shooting a bracketed sequence or a raw photo and tonemapping it. Onlt this will be believable where HDR makes stuff look illustrated
So this Active D-Lighting feature is mostly a convenience thing? - If you say set your exposure to -.3 or -.7 EV and brighten the shadows with PP you get the same result?
Your lens choice is more imporatant than the camera when it comes to wildlife. In my opinion the D300 takes a little better of a picture but the Canon has more long lens choices. If you are going to stick to a couple lenses, I would get the D300, but if you really want to invest heavly in vairous long lenses, then I would get the 40D.
I have just bought the Nikon D7000 and would like to know if you are bringing out a training dvd for it

Hi Jamomat, you are right in one sense, digital photography has made a lot of photographers lazy.
You would not have seen a wedding photographer without a tripod or light meter when using film,now its rare to see either at a wedding !
I know a wedding shooter with 30 yrs experience who uses raw and jpeg because Quote-: If I get the exposure wrong raw is good insurance.. what ???!!!
But raw files do have their place and useage, as you know they are on average two thirds larger than a jpeg.

you can use spot metering, fill-in flash to do the same thing.

With the way programs handle RAW formats differently, I don't think so. Who wants to fill up their SD/CF card so fast.

If you're serious about the craft, you'll take what I say for what it's worth.

If you're serious about the craft, you will learn to shoot it right the first time, and not depend on shooting RAW.

Also realize RAW has a greater dynamic range, which allows for more detail in shadows and blown out areas.
AND if you have a 20 dollar 8gig stick, you can easily hold over 600 raw files at 12bit depth (d60)
