[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Ted, I sometimes shoot RAW and JPEG for one reason: to ship photos back to my office where they are used on the web. Dumping JPEGS onto an FTP server is much, much quicker than sending RAW files...and the 72 dpi web images don't need to start life as a RAW file. Being able to shoot both at the same time saves time converting the RAW files to JPEGs.
