Actually I shoot jpg on vacations and some other outdoor activities.
EDIT: This has nothing to do with anything, but I post it anyways because it is Saturday and this is "the Cafe".

A typical JPEG meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. on the Monday, with a plenary meeting. This allows new members to introduce themselves, and sets the meeting schedules for the week. We then split to a number of ad-hoc groups, typically dealing with individual standards (at present, parts of the JPEG 2000 standard). About Wednesday, we get back together for another Plenary, where we typically take joint submissions and discuss the weeks progress and problems. More ad-hoc work takes place, before a final Plenary which aims to finish early afternoon on the Friday in time for flights home for those who are trying to get away.

Me too. When I bought my first digicam the price and capacity of memory cards was a critical factor on the size of files and the number of images they could hold. Jpg compression was a useful way of storing more images. But now cards are relatively a lot cheaper and have huge capacity, that limitation has disappeared. There's no real need to compress files in the camera, unless you're running out of space or you don't want to spend time converting later. I prefer to stay in control and set the compression rate for each pic as I want.

Both, I like to update my website as the pics happen which means jpgs are needed for jalbum but there are times things like contrast and exposure aren't quite right when the pic in its own right is pretty decent and in need of minor tweaks. |

I shoot almost exclusively raw. The processing is slow with my cheezy EOS XS (1000D), so the frame rate is really low -- like 1.5 fps. But the advantages to shooting raw are extreme when it comes to post processing. About the only time I don't shot raw is when I set my camera to one of the custom function settings (macro, sport, distance, etc.), which I do rarely, in which case only jpg is available.

Ah, wondered if someone would get it. Forgot to mention, I shoot RAW entirely where possible. There's a lot more leeway in editing and my EOS 1000D often got the WB wrong. |

I'm not trying to do a debate for pro and cons of both methods, but maybe some of you have done good images in jpeg format ( the evil one !! ) and are happy with.
I've done some and i prefer not to spend my time developing an image for hours cause i rather concentrate on the shooting scene, which is 95 per cent of the final result.
All i do when taking raw format is adapt white balance if needed, and convert to b&w if i want to, that's all : ) besides i am not a Lightroom expert.

RAW of course. There are inherent flaws in dSLR sensor tech that can only be fixed/compensated for with proper NR and sharpening in post production. RAW is essential to this. |

Well, I cast my vote early on and it's interesting to see that around 4/5 use Raw, which is around the result I expected.
Since the very early days I have been using Raw due to accidentally shooting a small bird close up and not realising I'd left the camera in B&W.
I've never gone back to JPG after seeing the benefits.

Hi,
I used JPGs when i bought my first DSLR, 4 years ago. After two months (the time required to read the whole manual and a lot of forum threads here and there), i started using raw images and, since then, never went back to JPGs ...
I'm coming from film-based photography and i like to develop my pics myself ...
Cheers

You didn't have raw+jpeg option. I think I remember Kirk Tuck said that when he works (for customers) he shoots raw. But when he just goes out and take pictures for himself, he just uses an e-p2 and shoots jpeg.

First thing I did after buying my camera was to Read the Fine Manual (RTFM). And when I saw that it would record in raw mode, even though I was a neophyte to digital, I knew that raw would be the way to go.
But it wasn't until I decided to brighten up an underexposed image in Canon's DPP software that I really began to appreciate the flexibility of raw. The image was almost two stops under exposed. No problem. I just dialed up the brightness, and the photo looked absolutely normal. None of the artifacts of unintended consequences that occur when trying to do this with any other file format.

For Canon you do not have this choice really. It's Raw by default.
Later on i switched to Olympus pen - and there were the most beautiful Jpeg (after some tweaking of compression and noise settings) i forgot the Raw files for a while and was just enjoying it without loosing 1-2 hours after every session with the raw converter at home.
The Sony Nex is back to Raw again as the exposure and colours are not even close to the real ones i was used to in Oly.
so .. RAW again

Which Canon? My XS/1000D defaults to JPG, and not even max resolution, as I recall. I had to bump the res up to max and change it to raw. Makes sense with that camera being an entry-level DSLR and all.
So, the above statement is not universally true. Some Canons do, in fact, default to jpg.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I note that you have a Sony NEX. I am very interested in this camera. Which one do you have? Early impressions? Have you posted any shots/thoughts/impressions about the camera here yet? I note that there are already dealers on eBay selling adapters for mf lenses for the NEX.
