Well, there are supposedly 18 decillion varieties of color (around and infinite number), and your camera and human eye can only see a small number or them, raw or jpg. The raw photo only 16 million, a measly amount, and the human eye at best see 10 million colors.

Theoretically,(on paper,) a RAW file may superior to a JPEG file the question being is that extra information necessary for your intended results. In other words, if you can't see see it, is shooting RAW really any advantage?

Nothing wrong with using raw, other than most non-editing, non-artistic experts will often produce WORSE results than the camera provides them, and 99% of the time raw is completely unnecessary for getting a good picture.

The other main issue is can you edit a JPG image? Of course you can. You need to know a jpg image can easily give you a full stop above and below correct exposure. Normally, anyone with a modern digital camera can, with no effort, pull that off. I was doing it 50 years ago with old SLR's that had no automation and slide film that had zero tolerance and couldn't even be edited, and I had little clue what I was doing. You would have to be exceptionally inept at photography not to get within 2 f stops today, and knowing when this doesn't cut it is pretty darn simple, and raw is only one solution, there are others for those instances.

The reason there are BILLIONS of fantastic JPG captures floating around, is because normally, jpg is more than adequate for taking most pictures, and editing them with out fooling around with RAW.

RAW is the last thing that makes for a good picture.

Even with perfect exposure…which is seldom the case no matter how good you or any other pro thinks you are…there will almost always be areas that are too dark or light and need exposure or contrast or whatever adjusted. While there’s nothing wrong with jpg for some purposes…any pro worth the name…and I in no way consider myself a pro…would want to get the best possible output as well as express his/her vision…and the simple truth is that if you let the camera maker determine what PP the photo gets and shoot in jpg you’re simply and stupidly throwing away a great deal of the recorded light and color you paid so much for the equipment to get. While you can PP a jpg…it isn’t nearly as much as you can do with a RAW file. So…I would agree that a PRO would likely want to shoot RAW almost always in order to produce the best results for the client.

File format…much like brand fanboys…much like the FF/DX arguments and the MILC/DSLR ones…and much like the fast prime/flexible and affordable zoom ones…simply depends. The correct answer to *any* of those is…it depends on a whole raft of factors and even narrowing it down to a single user that doesn’t reduce the field of decision much because it is all situational.

The "Save As" dialog will invoque that handler:

public class SaveCategoryCommandHandler : ICommandHandler<SaveCategoryCommand>
{
··· public SaveCategoryCommandHandler(
······ ICategoryRepository<Category> categoryRepository,
······ ITracker<User> tracker,
······ IMapProcessor mapProcessor,
······ IUnitOfWork unitOfWork,
······ IPostCommitRegistrator registrator)
··· {
······· // Private fields are set up. The definitions for the fields have been removed for brevity.
··· }
/*... some code block here...*/
}

As fo the "Save" dialog, it depends upon the philosophy of the developer:
a) Some take the blunt and easy route and invoke the same handler
b) Some will test if any edit was done and skip the actual saving of the file if not needed.

BTW, Why in Coders Hell does UHH not show indents !!!???

Fullframe seems to be doing just fine in the marketplace: There are some excellent APS-C and micro 4/3rd cameras on these lists, but in no way are we seeing "Rest in Peace fullframe" as he asserts. LOL

Japan is just one market, but the home market for most top brands.

Another topic that I'm sure will generate much discussion, but here goes.....I'm going to Iceland in July and plan to take (along with my Z6ii) my Sony RX10 IV with a 600 zoom lens to photograph puffins. I have no idea how close we can get to them, but I know I'll need some kind of zoom lens. Here's my question: Between a Sony RX10 IV with a 1" sensor and 600mm of zoom and a Nikon DX Z50 with a 50-250mm lens (375mm equivalent reach), which combo do you think will provide the best image quality to crop? I'm torn. The Sony is a great camera with great reach, but a much smaller sensor. The Z50 has a shorter reach but larger sensor. Thoughts as to what would provide the best quality and ability to crop up tight?
