Wide Gamut Color Space: "Interesting discussion on the 10D forum about whether to work in sRGB or Adobe RGB. This particular quote from Chuck Westfall, of Canon is worth noting (below). When you do the conversion to non-linear space you can choose any space you want - including some of the wide gamut color spaces that have become available: see this great article. http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/8582.html
If you are thinking of high quality printing, or using some of the newer printers that are coming out of Epson, etc. you may have more colors available than Adobe RGB or sRGB have in their gamut. This means that you can get richer, more accurate colors with a Wide Gamut color space.
Something to think about.
Direct quote from Chuck Westfall of Canon.
'All Canon digital cameras capture images in a color space called sYCC which has a considerably larger color gamut than either Adobe RGB or sRGB. RAW files preserve all of the captured data, but in-camera JPEGs and standard (i.e., non-linear) conversions from RAW files using Canon's software modify the image data to fit within either Adobe RGB or sRGB according to the Color Matrix setting.
