Over on Youtube on the Adorama Channel there is a video by Pye Jirsa (SLlounge) entitled
5 Steps to Better Understanding When to Shoot RAW vs JPEG | Mastering Your Craft
In this brief video he goes through the advantages and disadvantages of shooting raw , jpeg or both.
The results, maybe surprising. Lets just say if you have made a choice you might change your mind about when that choice is appropriate.
It's a new Video posted on the 14th Feb this year so you may not have seen it.
I hope you find it of interest, I can't link to the video but I think googling the title should work.
I always shoot RAW+JPEG. I have any disadvantages doing so. I don't shoot a lot so both the size of my memory card or storage means nothing. I also don't shoot continuous mode so I never get the buffer full.

Thanks. That is pretty good, don't you think? It is amazing that there is any controversy about this.

The fight use to be over sensor size Full/Crop --
Now it's moved down to Raw vs Jpeg
Why not go back to the good ole days of just bashing Camera Brands

Ditto.
If I need a little higher burst rate, I'll just shoot RAW for that.
I personally hate to spend a lot of time on the computer editing/processing my photos, but will do so on something I really like or need. Therefore, I generally shoot "Raw+JPEG" and use the JPEGs unless there is something that I really want to spend some time on or has a problem that I know I can fix. I then edit the Raw file for best overall results. This way I have the option of choosing either way and have found this method to be both practical and effective. Yeah, it uses more memory on the card and slows down the data transfer, but I feel it's a small price to pay. If I have to have the fastest possible continuous shooting, I will change to one of the other, but that has been very seldom so far. Good luck and good shooting to all.
Thanks a million, I will look at it right away

I don't spend a lot of time editing at all! I don't edit
every single image. I only edit the ones I want to print or post (do something with). The others will be there, so if later I find I want to use an image, I'll edit it then. Saves a LOT of time on the computer!
I too shoot RAW+JPEG. I peruse the JPEGs in Windows Explorer and decide which one(s) I want to edit and use the RAW editor.
Duplicate (only one coffee so far......)
My experience is that these demos always use a photo that best represents what they’re trying to show. I think that this is where the frustration enters for amateurs. It’s like learning to shoot targets at a firing range and then go out and be faced with a charging bear.
Thanks for the info and thanks Bill de for the link, it was really a great educational tool for the non-pro to see and understand the differences.
