well this topic is not all that straight forward as there are 3 distinct parts
1. what you shoot
2. what you process
3. what you deliver
1. WHAT YOU SHOOT
if you are shooting in raw the setting in camera sRGB or Adobe RGB has no relevence this setting affects the in camera JPEG only
If you are shooting in JPG you are far better off shooting in sRGB as it will be more universally correct for MOST printers and all web applications.
General rule here is in camera leave it in sRGB unless its aspecific client request. the setting doesnt effect RAW
WHAT I DO:
I shoot RAW and sRGB small or medium jpg files that way i can dump out the jpgs for someone to view or make a selection from quickly and use the RAW files for editing
2. WHAT YOU PROCESS
This is related to the colour space you processing applications use for example lightroom processes in prophoto RGB by default so it uses the full extent of the RAW information, you can configure you working space to whichever format you like but its best to do all processing on RAW files in the best available colour space.
WHAT I DO:
I leave the processing settings in lightroom and photoshop in prophoto RGB since i only process RAW and output sRGB Jpegs
3. WHAT YOU DELIVER
This is the colour space relating to the output, all output for web needs to be in sRGB so if you are outputing for this purpose you will need to convert you processed images to sRGB for delivery
Printing, Generally sRGB is correct for most printers unless you are printing to a calibrated setup with Adobe RGB or get a specific client request for Adobe RGB you are still best outputting your JPGs to sRGB
WHAT I DO:
I convert all processed deliverables to sRGB jpg files at maximum quality
That's about the most simplified expanation I could come up with
Amazon has updated the status of my order to "Shipping Soon", even though I haven't been notified of my estimated shipping date. My other pre-orders all list as "Not Yet Shipped" (including my Diablo III preorder). That must mean something.
For reference, I preordered late on March 4th.
Nice!
Body or Kit?
Body.
I also spoke to a local retailer today (Hunt's Camera in Providence, RI) and he said that they're getting 30 Bodies in on the 22nd, as well as 60 kits. They had 160 Body pre-orders and only 40 Kit pre-orders, so he told me that if Amazon doesn't come through that they'd have a number of kits available immediately.
Sounds like gettings kits is going to be a lot easier.

Thanks again for the info. Looks like I was just under 2 minutes behind you so I'll be expecting my camera next week, too! 2:33:02 AM CSTAwesome news! Thanks for that. One more question, I'd rather play with my new iPad than deal with amazon right now, what time did you place your order? I ordered at 2:30am CST and just knowing relative to your order where mine is will more than suffice.
Mine was syncing at the time.
As for the order time...that is a funny thing. I just went to see what time I received the email confirmation from Amazon, and, the email time is 2:31:19 AM CST on March 2nd.

I'm pretty impressed with the new screen on this thing, the one downside I forgot to consider, however, is that now pictures synced with it are larger. My photos ballooned from 4.5GB to just over 8GB!

The display, even with all the hype about how nice it is, is unreal. I'm impressed.Kit or body?
