Comments on: Format Wars – Should I Shoot in RAW or JPEG? http://www.sandrophoto.com/2011/06/19/format-wars-should-i-shoot-in-raw-or-jpeg/ Learn Photography With Sandro Dzneladze Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:39:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nic http://www.sandrophoto.com/2011/06/19/format-wars-should-i-shoot-in-raw-or-jpeg/comment-page-1/#comment-71214 Nic Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:22:54 +0000 http://www.sandrophoto.com/?p=1456#comment-71214 I shoot in RAW, but used to shoot in RAW + JPG. Having in-camera generated JPG's was a quick way to get files to websites for news stories and blogs, but RAW is sort of like film, it takes time to process. And if someone's intended use is strictly for web based use (using the more limited sRGB color space), then the benefits of raw are less apparent. The dynamic range is largely dependent on the camera sensor, more so than the RAW vs. JPG choice. High end cameras have about 12 to 14 stops of dynamic range, a huge improvement over cameras years ago. There's one camera coming to market that boasts 20 stops using some sort of in-camera HDR technique.
