I like to capitalize it, it looks more congruous in a sentence:
"RAW or JPEG", as opposed to "raw or JPEG".
But that's just me.

Well, I like both RAW & JPEG capitalized, they both deserve to Stand-Out as two important aspects of Professional Photography

Indeed that is far more important than say, lighting, composition, emotional content, they all pale in comparison to the importance of recording in the raw format.

I wonder if admin would consider a new sub forum, one that actually limits it's discussions to photography.
Just a thought.
No way!

Despite RAW being written in capitals, it’s not an abbreviation, it is simply a way to express the contents of a file as RAW, unprocessed and unedited data that needs to be processed before it can be used or printed.
The term "JPEG" is an acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard in 1992. JPEG was largely responsible for the proliferation of digital images and digital photos across the Internet, and later social media.
Dats all folks! No philosophy or technobabble. Both platforms have their technicalities, advantages, and disadvantages or limitations. They are both at your disposal and your choice based on your needs. Utilizing one or the other does not make you a better or inferior photographer.

My RAW pics have the same number of pixels as my jpg pics? What camera are you using?
Only true when the compression algorithm is lossless. Most are lossy, not lossless.

As others have said, RAW is not an acronym but rather refers to the unprocessed state of a photograph, hence raw. So like JPEG and TIFF, it typically is written as capitals.
If you want to use as much information from an image taken by a camera in post processing, then you need to shoot in RAW (as opposed to raw). But the downside is RAW files are much larger than JPEG, and some cameras can’t even shoot in RAW.

All camera shoot RAW, some cameras simply don't save the RAW information as a dedicated file, they simply process the image and only export a JPEG.

Cameras don’t “shoot” raw. Raw is a file format, a generic term for a manufacturer’s proprietary binary data file.
