RAW is better
No, Dummkopf...jpeg is better
No it's not...
Yes it is...it's jpeg, I tell you...
No it's not...RAW is..
Seriously, it's jpeg...

Round and round we go...

...blah blah blah...

Who's right, who's wrong...

Everybody and nobody
How many pages will this thread go to, thrashing out the same old cr4p?

How much time on forums has been wasted on this debate...and it will never be resolved.

Still, for entertainment value, this is a great thread.

But if you can't take a sports illustrated worthy picture in Medium JPG then I don't think your chances are improving by shooting RAW... since you brought it up.

Actually, they improve dramatically because SI requires you to shoot RAW + M1.

They require this because their shooters are just a bunch of hacks who need it because they make too many exposure setting errors.

In spite of Phil's rant above the logic around saying that jpeg is as good as RAW escapes me. In many settings the differences are small, in low light they are large. Does that mean that one cannot get excellent shots with jpeg, of course not.

When jpg is the appropriate format for the workflow but you're still shooting RAW because you're making too many exposure mistakes then its time to improve your skills.

There is the whole sentence cwood. I hardly see how it changes things.

I never said RAW was as good as jpg... I said JPG was appropriate to certain situations. Each photographer must determine what is appropriate. Just because YOU don't shoot in situations where JPG is appropriate doesn't mean those situations do not exist.

Why this always turn into an argument is the insinuation that RAW shooters are just a bunch of hacks who only shoot RAW because they lack skills.

This is NOT an insult to people shooting RAW.

the opposite argument is that

When RAW is the appropriate format for the workflow you should shoot RAW

As I said before... just because YOU don't shoot in a workflow where jpg is the appropriate format doesn't mean that situation does not exist. I am REQUIRED to shoot jpg for many sports events.

This is hardly the same as your quote

you're still shooting RAW because you're making too many exposure mistakes then its time to improve your skills

I agree. I was just being a smart ass. Too many Jack and Cokes while sorting through basketball shots from tonight.

I am ready to debate if Gaussean blur or Jack Daniels is a better skin smoothing technique. Some of my girls bball players are starting to look like Vogue models.

This has been a fun thread to follow. My .02 is that I shoot everything in raw. I love the extra latitude of adjustment. But yes it really does burn HD space.

nobody said that.

Not directly but all the little pokes are there.

Photo volume at a sports event is a perfectly good reason to shoot jpg as long as you know how to expose your image properly.

if you shoot it right the first time why bother with the extra step?

You do that. I'll stick to taking them right the first time.
+1

I do agree with you cwood that you should use the work flow that works best for the situation. For me that is RAW. I have a bunch of presets that work well with RAWs but will not work on JPGs. Saying we RAW shooters use it for an exposure crutch is like saying you shoot JPG because you need the FPS and buffer because you have no timing. A pretty idiotic statement, don't you agree. We can agree to disagree I guess. K can you e-mail me a Jack and Coke.
