[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 810123, member: 10742"] RAW editors have exponentially increased in performance and disk space/speed has increased while costs have exponentially decreased since this thread was started... RAW gives you a greater dynamic range for editing than JPEG... Earlier sizes and costs were trade-offs...that's no longer true... Very fast 256G SD cards are less than $30, and 1T external hard drives are less than $60... Most all of the newer Nikon cameras also allow for a setting of various forms of "Compressed RAW" images that are 1/2 to 1/4 of the camera's full RAW capability resulting in file sizes comparable to JPEG sizes, but with all the benefits of a full RAW file. As a hobbyist, my priority is Quality. So I only shoot RAW... Many of my peers that are professionals that are worried about speed and size, shoot RAW compressed... [/QUOTE]
