RAW images (free database or other) for explore

Hi,

At this moment I have a simple camera Panasonic DMC-FZ8.

Before buying a step better I am curious to see the quality-difference of RAW-images of some other cameras like Nikon DX or Canon etc.

And (not for buying, but to see the difference) may be some FX RAW images of a professional camera.

I would like to experiment with the RAW-files of those cameras.

Question:

Where can I find some free un- edit RAW images (for download) to experiment with it in ACR .

Images with the theme like those below...also: nature / vacation / landscape.

Thanks Fred K

Hi Yammer P

Thanks.

And then you mean the menu-item < galleries> ?

How can I see the image is a RAW image?

When I want to find a RAW file for a camera I don't have, I Google for and include the camera model and sometimes the proprietary RAW extension like CR2 or NEF. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Hi ssprengel,

Thanks....

You give me a link Sample RAW download but that gives an error for me < An unexpected error has occurred >

I put square brackets around something Google should search for to designate the words would be in the Google text box, but the web-forum email-intake process must use square brackets for link delimiters which wasn't what I meant. It wasn't a link it was just three words.

The suggestion would be to Google for the three words: Sample RAW download, along with the brand, model of camera.
