    Default RAW or JPG - what's your choice

    Nice and easy little poll.

    Do you shoot RAW, JPG or RAW+JPG.

    I always shoot in both, memory cards are cheap enough these days to do both, and if a shot comes out nicely without any need for processing then i have a ready made JPG.

    RAW for me, although the 10D automatically embeds a jpg into the file anyway but I've only ever extracted it about twice.

    RAW for me, what are the write time overheads for writing RAW + JPEG? It's not something I've ever played with.

    How about a positive LSD story? Would you like to see a positive LSD story on the news to hear what's it all about, perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting just once?

    "Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves... Here's Tom with the weather".

    Default Re: RAW or JPG - what's your choice

    i always use RAW, its easier to manipulate on the pc + i have a handfull of 2gb CF cards and a 20GB flashtrax so storage isnt an issue.

    (BTW i use a fuji S2pro 12.1mp DSLR)

    Default Re: RAW or JPG - what's your choice

    I actually clicked JPEG. I do most in JPEG at the mo, but that's only coz I'm doing outdoor football shots and there are obviously times when I need to blast off a few shots in quick succession. Then the only post editing is adjusting levels and turn up the brightness 1 step (if it needs it).

    Other stuff (portraits, etc) in RAW.

    also raw allows you to save some pics if you mess up the exposure or colour balance- pretty tough to do with only JPG.

    I only bother with raw if I'm shooting in constant lighting conditions so I can batch all the processing. I see little/no point in wasting all the time for mixed environments.

    Mainly jpg for me, as I have to reduce most images for web sites. I use raw occasionally when I'm working on advertising pics.

    Always jpg, might have to try raw though since recently getting a dslr. Tbh i've always found it quite easy to adjust brightness, colour balance etc. on jpgs.

    Default Re: RAW or JPG - what's your choice

    raw, because a few pixel on my old canon S30 sensor decided to get stuck. So if i shoot jpeg, one hot pixel becomes like 4, 5 distorted pixels due to the compression....
    It's not like i have a 10mega camera so every pixel counts.... hehe
