Really? Wow... the first question I ALWAYS ask myself is whether the photographer used raw or not... Thank goodness the EXIF data will show me what mode it was taken in. Otherwise, I would have no fricken way to distinguish a pro from a snap shooter. :-)
Wow! Thanks for the tip I have been having trouble telling which were which. Dave

That may make sense for photographers who shoot hundreds of shots, at a wedding for example, and have a short deadline to produce results. But for those of us who want the most out of our images, RAW delivers the goods. Even with wedding pics, where brides are wearing white, a notoriously difficult color to get just right, RAW is the superior file choice to get the details in the highlights.
Never a problem is you get incident readings

If you like I can try to walk you through how to post images in the gallery section so that others beside Allen can see what a master you are.

Does that sound like a self proclaimed master?

If you can do that in the chaos of a wedding, just as one example, then you are a better man than I am. I will continue to shoot in
RAW and optimize my images, rather than accept what the camera dictates in Jpeg.
Just curious. Have you ever shot using RAW files? Have you ever compared the refined RAW files to your Jpeg files? No question using Jpeg files are quicker to use. My experience is that RAW files gives me much more artistic control over my images, including shots that are near perfect in exposure etc. Marginal shots can be much improved if shot in RAW.

not really its what every one who takes picture should be saying because there is no trick to it , aim the camera and take the picture . what could be simpler, every one is not going to be a show stopper.there is thousands of good pictures, the problem is the majority are just plane boring . may be millions that are plane boring, and mine are there in that bunch also, the only trick to it if you call it that is trying to get one that isent quite as booring as all the others, there is lots of good pic around but very few on the hog site that are not ho humm booring boaring, how ever its spelled. spilled??

Ok then Bram (not a master), what if you show us some of your "they're all good" photos?
Like I said, I can walk you through uploading them to the gallery if you like.

Lighthouse, you certainly are smarter than I am; I could not understand his message.

To reply to the op's original question: I shoot RAW because it allows me to work in the way that I want to work, it's that simple. Is it the best, for me it is, and that's all that matters. Each has its own advantages, so what others use matters not to me.

I have been a wedding photographer for over 50 years-yes I have used the raw process, but because I can nail exposure and white balance due to due diligence and experience, all I need to do in post process is adjust the gamma in levels, rendering the raw process time- consuming and unnecessary for me.
