I shot in JPG for years. I got really good at making those photos look exceptional, for the most part. Lost highlights were an issue at times, but I was comfortable with the format. I finally bought a Sony mirrorless camera and slowly acquired new lenses. I was still shooting in JPG, because I didn't know what to do with RAW. After a while, I forced myself to switch, facilitated by the recent graphic programs that give a lot of easy help in processing. I'll never go back to JPG. RAW is definitely the way to take photographs.

I used Z9 + 14-24mm, 100-400mm, 24-70mm to take some photos in the last month, and the technology has improved. Fortunately, I met many good teachers to teach me a lot of knowledge and skills. You are one of the most important teachers. I also realized the charm of post-processing photos. Thank you for your course!

awesome info

Appreciate the video! I'm a Nikon JPEG kind of guy, but I can see the advantages of RAW files, if the space usage and slow downloading doesn't bother you: I have used RAW for portrait work, but I still also shoot JPEGS for outside work . Again, thanks for this!

Preaching to the choir 😁 But now I have a video to send to friends that say "It's too much trouble, I'll just stick with JPG". Thanks for doing these.

So essentially now there is less skill involved in getting it right in camera as we used to have to do with slide film. Anyone can spray and pray and just “fix in lightroom”😢 Makes for sloppy, false renditions of the original. I get that when we went to film we could dodge and burn etc which was manipulating the final image, and I also get that creativity is enhanced by all the controls we have now, but just because we can, should we. I’m an old dinosaur that loved slide film. If most “photographers” today had to shoot it and get it right in camera I think there would be a lot less of them. 😊Loved your video though and subscribed to learn more about Lightroom😂😂
