Shutterbugs, do you use RAW or JPG mode and why?
RAW. If you don't get the exposure exactly right you have much more wiggle room to bring back the details lost in the highlights/shadows. Also in RAW you can change the white balance later, this is very helpful when shooting indoors and in dark places with strange lighting conditions - Benjamin Golub
Also, I get much better white balance adjustment results with raw files. They are big but worth it. - Joe Beda from iPhone
If you don't plan on editing most photos then stick to JPG. You won't gain anything exporting straight from RAW to JPG. It actually could look worse because most cameras apply some sharpening to JPGs by default - Benjamin Golub from iPhone
I use RAW and agree with all the pros and cons listed above. - Kevin Fox
RAW for all the reasons already mentioned. - donato
Abandoned RAW years ago, never looked back. "Get the exposure correct on the camera, or delete the image" works for me. I'd use RAW if I was a pro and spent more hours postprocessing and cranking out 30"+ prints than shooting. - Sean O'Connor
I use RAW and agree with Kevin's review of the pros and cons above! - Chris Myles
