This question is for those of you that shoot RAW. When you are done editing them and convert them to jpegs, what quality setting do you use? I have been using 12, which is the max, but am wondering if I need to be at 12? Because my 5D files are so large, I can't even fit 800 images on a single DVD, instead I have to split them up on 2 DVD's. What quality setting do you use?

use a 5D - save the jpgs at 10

Files are generally 2-3Mb after that (occassionally 4Mb)

I shoot with a 1DMKII and use quality 10.

Thanks guys!

Quality 10 is plenty and you won't even notice a difference between the two except for a HUGE savings in drive space.

And that is exactly what I am after!
