[QUOTE="aroy, post: 502247, member: 16090"] I think that if you are not utilizing the high DR available in RAW, then you need good light for noise free images. A high MP, low DR body is good enough. The utility of RAW; at least for me; is that I can manipulate exposure to get it just right, open up shadows, when needed and play around with NR, before finalizing the output. Shooting only in jpeg has its advantages, but then you are wasting a lot of information that is sitting there in the 14 bit RAW. Fine if you are under tight schedule to deliver images immediately, but not worth it if you want to get the most from the image. You will waste more time setting up the camera "just right" than correcting that in post. In my case I use NX-D and normally adjust the exposures, brighten up the shadows where required and then crop and export to jpeg. Each image takes less than a minute and that is worth it. [/QUOTE]
