DSLR Shots and Discussions

RiCharlie

I know its not fashionable but I like JPEG..Unless the exposure is way off, there is no need for radical RAW processing,.and frankly call me lazy..but I figure I paid enough for this camera,so let it do its thing and save me the trouble..

Yes RAW has much more flexibility,.,.,.if you encounter a situation where radical processing is needed...but so far I think its more bother than its worth for the great majority of shots..and in the end looks the same.

As for noise, i have a 14x11 print in my hand,,shot at 1600 ISO and I see no noise..and my eyesight is fine..

Plus I can shoot a whole bunch and not worry about buffer overload,.

So anyone care to have a discussion on this?

RAW is by far the best way to get the most information onto the image file while taking a picture. JPG mode in most cameras has gotten a lot better tho. I shoot RAW, but that's just my preference.

What he said.
Since I run all of my images through Lightroom, I have the option to adjust anything... or not. But at least I have more options and control available if I decide to do something with the image.

If it's really just snapshots, something that I'm going to share untouched in a small size, or stuff I'll give away to someone who doesn't possess software that can process RAW, or it will need to be viewed on their computer (such as snapping at a friend's picnic), I'll set my camera to RAW + JPEG Small. It doesn't really take that much extra space on the card. They can have the files they need to post on Facebook and just in case there's something good on there, I'll still have a file I can work with.

There was a time when my 6mp 10D was a pretty bad-a$$ camera

Yes and there was a time when my Brownie Bullseye was high tech!! Do they still sell Instamatics? My first serious camera was Minolta SRT 101 and my friend had Nikon Phototomic FTN i believe..
