But I know RawShooter is like betwen #1 and #2 on photo forums.

I don't know why PS can't do it better. I just accept it. I'm having troubles remembering stuff I know to warry about inner works. As you can see, photo workflow can be pretty extensive and complex...

And I bet you didn't hear about color profiles yet... like sRGB versus AdobeRGB... BTW,as attractive as "Adobe..." might sound, make sure to set it to sRGB both in your camera and in PS. Google it for more.
I've heard about sRGB and AdobeRGB, but I can't provide an in-depth description of both, so I guess I need to read more about them

Sorry, I missed the mention of RAW Shooter being free... well, I'm going to get myself a copy of that tonight Thanks Vlad.

sRGB and AdobeRGB are color spaces, basically if you search they have 3d models of different color spaces. The abodeRBG color space is a bit larger ( more information)

sRGB was developed by microsoft and is more suited for display on websites, hence most cameras color space settings are set to sRBG by default.

Even though AdobeRBG is a larger color space, it is actuall suited towards those who will end up with a CMYK file ( offset printing and such), so if you shoot AdobeRBG the images may seem dull or less saturated without tweaking. So going by this if you don't plan to end up with CMYK files sRGB is a good color space.... also I believe most Canon's shoot rRGB out of the box.

without adjustment sRBG files tend to appear more contrasty with better color saturation.

I followed Vlads advise and got the S60 and have been VERY happy with it. Check out www.dpreview.com

Hey if raw shooter allows you to do those things it sound great. I should look into it.
RS is only good to select pictures, to adjust WB and exposure and shadow contrast and tint. Then you hit a button and it'll convert to tiff and load picture in PS. Or you can set it to just do batch convertion, without opening it into PS.

This all has to do with cf card speed, buffer sizee and processor speed... like you said, but in my experience cameras seem to lag sooner with the larger raw files. I guess the best way to find this out in the XT is to shoot a burst with raw and shoot a burst with jpg high and see what happens. I would just shoot slower anyways.
All I said in this part is only my guess as an IT guy... I never did extensive experiments. In my 10D I have no problem shooting RAW burst of 9. But then it takes a long time to write to card. I use sandisk 1G ultra II cards. They are not the fastest available... But since I mostly shoot with strobes, recharging time is bottleneck for the whole process, so in-camera processes became irrelevant.
