Question: Raw, JPG or Both
September 22, 2009 by Mike Wong • 5 Comments
I'm curious to know what file format(s) people (at least the people reading this blog) are shooting out there. Raw? JPG? Raw + JPG? Depending on what trade show I might be at or who I'm talking to I get a variety of answers and thought it would be fun to find out what you all are shooting out there.
If you have 2 seconds, I'd appreciate you taking this poll.

The only time I don’t shoot ONLY RAW is when I have a wireless setup and I’m shooting RAW+JPEG (small) and uploading only the JPEG.
I shoot mosly RAW on my 5D MK II, but if i need to shoot continous for a long time, JPG is the only way… RAW fills the buffers after about 20 or so shots… JPG does not… i only stop shooting when i run out of memory…
Depends on what I am shooting. If I have time to mess around, I’ll shoot RAW; if I have to get it out quick, I go JPEG.
I usually shoot JPEG. I shoot RAW when shooting a wedding or extreme low-light. Otherwise I shoot JPEG. Occasionally I set the camera for RAW + JPEG.
RAW all the way…
And make a good edit and get rid of what you dont want to keep or need.
