Hey as long as you are banning people from taking photos in the raw I should be banned to because I have no belly button.

Another advantage of shooting in RAw is that you can convert to both 8-bit or 16-bit TIFF files. They're larger than the standard *.jpgs, but they can be compressed and uncompressed without any data loss.

LOL I know is Ken Rockwell is a well respected guy, especially among Nikon snobs, but had no idea he missed the mark so much in the RAW vrs. JPEG department. Fro's a trip isn't he? I'm checking out his site right now, it's great. Thanks for posting Stealthy

He's honestly not that respected. I'm not trying to be mean, but that guy makes money off sensationalism.

I'm sure he's a really nice guy. I'm just talking about his views on photography. He's off a lot on photography.

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I am just curious as to what the difference and benefits of shooting RAW vs. shooting JPEG is?

Jpeg-

- Sharper image than RAW
- Compressed on camera
- Higher in contrast than RAW
- Smaller file size than RAW

RAW-

- Not as sharp
- lower contrast
- higher in dynamic range than jpeg

RAW: more exposure latitude in post processing, can change white balance at a whim later on, but takes up more disk space and is proprietary

JPEG: universal image format, compression used properly is usually unnoticeable, smaller file size, but has less exposure latitude and the white balance isn't explicitly adjustable

I usually shoot JPEG unless I'm unsure of the white balance or I know I'll need to underexpose and pull out details later on.

I actually went back to shooting jpeg a couple of months ago for no other reason than time. Working full-time and attending night school left me with no choice. For me, jpeg is faster and I spend a lot less time in post. The most important tricks to using jpeg are getting the white balance right and nailing the exposure. I will go back to shooting RAW (my preference) after I finish night school, but right now jpeg is ok.
It is what it is.

You're right, this has been discussed ad nauseum.

Thanks, but I already got my answer. :) And sometimes us newbies rather just ask the question instead of searching. The question is already in our head, so we like to get out asap.
