[40D Users] Who uses SRAW and for what purpose?

[nutsnbolts]

Let's see how many bites here. I would like to see the reasons for using SRAW.

OK, you got me, I have SRAW on my Mark III and I can't really think of a reason to use it.

Here's a good tip; Use the search feature before posting a new topic. You might get lucky.

Hey lowcrust -

While you are searching, try searching the Forum Rules (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/rules.php):

In category 4. (The "don't be a jerk" language) [hey, how's that for a coincidence!]

Number 9: If you know an answer to a question either answer it or say nothing. Giving newbies blunt answers like "search the forum" is not allowed - please use the typing effort to giving the answer instead. Or just give the link to that post you wished the newbie should have searched for. Respect newbies - you were a newbie once.

I wasn't trying to be a dick. I'm just providing him a tip that this exact topic is currently being discussed here, even at the first page of threads. Surely I'm not supposed to re-iterate the whole discussion instead of pointing him in the right direction?

Also, I'm three times the newbie he is.

Here's another:

2. (The liability legalese)

You agree, through your use of the Forums, that you will not post any material or links to any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, libelous, inaccurate, rude, racist, disrespectful, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, threatening, obscene, profane, pornographic, racially or ethnically offensive, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law.

I got to love people who thinks they know it all. I hope your photographs isn't as bad as your attitude.

Anyway, now that we got that out of the way, aside from finding Canon's statement on why SRaw exists, what are the other applications that you guys have used SRAW. Essentially the point of the post.

Maybe I should have rephrased the question but if you look at all the answers for SRAW, no one really says what they use SRAW for...I wanted to find out if anyone used SRAW the way Canon intended for it's creation.

If you go here (for example):

Canon EOS digital cameras (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9)
or
Canon EF and EF-S lenses (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33)

You'll see how many people ask the same question over and over again.

Lesson is, if you don't have anything good to say, then skip over this post and move on.

...this exact topic is currently being discussed here ... pointing him in the right direction?

And accoring to the POTN rules, ... just give the link to that post you wished the newbie should have searched for.

Hey man I'm only trying to help. So I missed posting links, but seeing as it's only a four letter word I thought it would be too in-your-face to post them. But here you are;

And I'm sorry to say my attitude is better than my photography, although I fail to see how any of the two could be brought into questioning here.

Children, play nice. Lowcrust has been taking lessons from me but will be nicer in future ;)

Thank you. Ironically, I have posted that before stating, "use the search function" but I learned to not even say anything anymore and it was easier to skip the topic than repeat myself over and over again, "use the search function" LOL.

If you think about it, it's an endless circle. Anyway...
