Jpg's Or Raw?
3 Answers
My jpg's look sharper than my raw files, so why don't I just shoot in jpg until I really NEED a large raw file?
After all the're not going to be exhibited or anything and most will probably rot in a folder somewhere! I've heard and indeed participated in the discussions & merits of raw's over jpg's and have come to the conclusion that I'm going to shoot in jpg mode in future!
I don't particularly enjoy sitting in front of a monitor for hours when I get more fun out & about shooting.
Happy Easter all.

The RAW files will be uncompressed pixel by pixel images whereas the jpg files are compressed images.
So it may be the PROGRAM that is being used to display them is making a better job of displaying the jpgs than the RAW files.
However unless you are going to exhibit them (you say you are not) or send them to a magazine it is not worth shooting RAW.
