have been asked by a friend to shoot a family get together. My friend is supplying a SD card to turn back over to him.

The photos are yours until you hand them over, and as everyone knows, not all will be great. I would recommend that you shoot the way you normally do, post process them, and transfer the usable photos to a thumb drive for your friend. If a friend of mine would not except those terms, I would politely decline the request, as I would never hand over photos that may not meet my standards for quality.

Shoot in JPEG, you don't need RAW for an event like this. I was shooting my friends family and i did the whole shoot in JPEG. They loved the results. They wouldn't know RAW from JPEG in a million years.

AMEN

This was not an "Ask Google" situation.

It clearly was an "Ask your friend" question.

Bet a nickel the answer wouldn't have taken 5 pages, and would have been definitive.

The event went smoothly shot in raw and jpeg went back to my hose later and looked at photos everyone is happy. Going to print a few for him.

Thanks to all for encouragement and technical input.
