That is exactly what Paul did.

Pages and pages of old discussions.
I shoot RAW, I have answered this question about 100 times here but for some reason administration thinks it is still a very valuable topic so they allow it to run in what appears to be a LOOP discussion.
Anyway, I will bite.
Yes, as I have stated 100 times are more, I now shoot RAW (but according to another link, RAW is not correct, it should be "raw" or "RAW" or "raw/RAW" or what ever, that discussion is still going strong), if you do post, RAW,raw/raw/RAW is the way to go.
If you do not use post in any way, you wasting space on your memory card, I would suggest shooting JPEG, or Jpeg, or just jpeg. Most photographers here will not notice the difference anyway so why bother shooting in RAW, or raw, or RAW/raw.
Of course RAW, or raw, or RAW/raw files contain a lot more information which can all be manipulated in post processing where RAW, raw, or RAW/raw files can be properly explored using your favorite post processing program.
That is what first intrigued me about using RAW, or raw, or RAW/raw in the first place.
So, if you want the best file to use in post processing, use RAW, raw, or RAW/raw files.
If it's no big deal for you, use JPEG, or Jpeg, or jpeg files, I used them for years and won awards, did $5,000.00 weddings, published wildlife books in this format and never got a negative comment.
So, it all depends on what your needs are. Use it or do not use it, your choice, your once in a life time moment, your decision.
Hope I have not been to wordie, or wordee, or workdie.

I know most everyone on this site will say Raw. If you are lazy and enjoy your photos in JPEG then do this . I am lazy and try to get the photo right in the camera. It is very challenging. I do ok. See pic of reddish egrets. I was in great light and somewhat close to these birds. I know everyone will not agree but it is my choice.

I absolutely agree with you. JPEG, or Jpeg, or jpeg worked well for me for years of professional use.
If you know what your doing and get it right in the camera JPEG, or Jpeg, or jpeg will work just fine, and you save space on your memory card.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

There’s always one. And it’s usually you.

Please use "quote reply" so we know who and what is over saturated????????

It can time for people new to UHH to realize CHG_CANON sometimes speaks with a forked tongue in both cheeks. But if not for him, I would never have known how unadventurous my life remains with a reflex, crop sensor camera.

Only RAW, and AV most of the time.

Raw purists should acknowledge the role that JPG SOOC played in the popularity and growth in the digital equipment. I doubt digital cameras would have progressed as quickly and with relatively low prices without the ability of millions or folks to have instant results to see and share them almost as instantly. It's like having Polaroid and AE-1 cameras rolled into one and with essentially free film! Film and photo paper would have been considerably more expensive if not for the Brownie and the Instamatic. There will always be a market for the highest end equipment and supplies, but those who take the time to do their own processing should be glad there is an instant camp.

I just did some houses yesterday.
Dark shadows etc.
Here is SOC and then taking raw and trying to get the shadows lightened to show the architecture better.
I have found doing this infinitely easier in raw than dealing with the limited capabilities in JPEG.

Yes, sad but true .....or if your intention is for a normal rendition to look screwed up ..."Fine Art"

He asked questions because you didn’t provide enough info to give an informed answer. As others pointed out, RAW is an “unfinished” image that needs post processing to bring it to a “finished” image, while JPEG has been processed in your camera to a. “finished” level. As a beginner, perhaps you didn’t realize that, but on any case, few if any on this site would conclude that their RAW images would be satisfactory without post processing. Thus, because he was puzzled by your question, he needed more info from you. Perhaps you’re new to this site, but you’ll observe—if you stay—that many questioners are prompted to provide more info before their questions can be answered.

I would have just dialed in 3 exposure HDR on my Sony and got finished JPEGS out of camera ...but I may have done some tweaking PP if needed also. Your image actually could have used more exposure at the camera stage. 8-)

Hand held, no tripod and a breeze was blowing moving branches and leaves.
Sorry 3 shots will NOT work.
