It’s not a full examination of every technical aspect of RAW vs. JPEG, but I show some of the reasons why I try to shoot RAW almost all the time, as well as some reasons why I sometimes shoot in JPEG instead. Some of the subtle differences didn’t really translate into the compressed video files, but hopefully you can get an idea of what the extra data in a RAW file is handy for.

  1. That was a very clear and very helpful mini-tutorial. I’ve been using .jpeg only ever since I got my digital SLR a year ago and was wondering about the plusses and minuses of shooting RAW. Thanks.
