How to start a weekly flame war on TPF. Step 1. Post any one of the following questions:
- Do I shoot RAW or JPG?
- Do I need to buy a 47 megapixel camera to have good pictures?
- Amiga or Macintosh, which should I buy?
Aaaaaaanyway... to OP: Shoot with JPEG until your JPEGs make you angry because of something that you cannot fix, then start shooting RAW. JPEGs are a lossy compression- which means the data it doesn't feel that you "need", it hucks in the trash. If the camera misinterprets something on your scene (most famously light color), you're going to have a much harder time correcting it than you would with a RAW image.
Now... on to the flame wars! :mrgreen:
