[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 517128, member: 13090"] I think it depends, at least in large part, on how much time and effort you want to invest in your shots. The primary reason for shooting in RAW is because RAW offers orders of magnitude more control over things like exposure, white balance, color correction and so forth when doing post processing. If you're not doing this sort of post-processing, and don't plan on doing so in the future, then the value of shooting RAW drops precipitously, in my estimation. If for no other reason than because you CAN edit JPG's; just nowhere nearly as well as you can a RAW file. Photoshop Elements may not have all the bells and whistles, like layers and masks and such, of Photoshop, but it's still a [I]very[/I] powerful editing tool. The question, really, is to what degree do you want to process your photos. The more you want to do that, the stronger the argument for shooting in RAW. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
