So how do you feel about this article?

How do I feel?......................................................................I feel like this subject has been hashed to death here and in every other photography forum around. Nothing new here to see, read or care about.

As are many topics of every category in every forum.

It's generally worthless but at times quite misleading. Given the misinformation we can conclude the author falls into the category; "knows enough to be dangerous." This kind of stuff drives me nuts. Personally I'd just ignore it, but my students keep dragging it into class and I have to keep swatting it down over and over and over. Curse the Internet! Curse Youtube! Curse Fauxtography blogs! Whew -- too much coffee this morning.

Went back and scanned it. The points he makes are valid and the piece is well done, so I'm not sure why Ysarex is so bent out of shape about it. Still, don't shoot Jpeg if you can avoid it.

I would say something more like:

"Know the difference between JPEG and RAW as it relates to your camera and your subject matter so that you can make an informed, intelligent choice regarding which to use and when to use it."
