It amazes me even more that there are people who think that it is somehow important or even necessary to shoot RAW 100%.


Look, I shoot RAW when there is something I want to do with a RAW file. But when I don't have a need to shoot RAW I shoot JPEG.


For example, I want to compare how two (or ten) leses compare at the corners. On my D800 that's 25MB per file in RAW. Why would anybody in their right mind shoot RAW for this?


Is someone going to give me a medal or what?


Yesterday I went shopping with the wife. I just got the V3 and I just wanted to spend the day playing with how the camea handled whilst pretending that I was interested in going around the shopping centre. I didn't shoot one image in RAW. Why would I?


So please, stop being heroes with this I shoot 100% RAW. It's a load of nonsense.

 

There has been a lot of times when I encountered a great image without any preperation whatsoever. I had seconds to capture that moment and sometimes I had to do varying amounts of post processing on the resulting image.

 

I'd rather leave the camera on RAW+JPEG all the time than miss that one very good image.
