[QUOTE="westmill, post: 54209, member: 9330"] Nikons out of camera JPGs are indeed soft but can be sharpned a little in camera and better sharpned in PS. If you read my first post on page one, i have already noted a whole list of good reasons for using or needing JPG. Yes you can get more detail from a a carefuly processed RAW but its only slight if the jpg is also correctly processed. Unless you are making ginourmous prints or pixel peeping at 100% you wouldnt see the difference. I shot the grand national last wk..... I would say there was about 60 of us in the press room. Every last one shot JPG...... including me. I never saw any cheap lenses being used ! A good lens is just a good lens wether you shoot raw or JPG. F1.4 is F1.4 on RAW or JPG, good contrast is good contrast on RAW or JPG low CAs are Low CAs etc etc etc. RAW files give you more headroom for correction. Most pics shouldnt need that much correction. RAWs on there own as such are useless to anyone and once you have processed your RAW, what do you do ? Exactly... turn it into a JPG. [/QUOTE]
