Why You Should Stop Shooting RAW

All new photographers are told to shoot RAW for everything because it produces the absolute best images out of your camera. It's true, RAW is the best image format, but there are certain situations where shooting RAW may end up hurting you more than helping. Find out why JPG can actually be better than RAW in some situations.

Great video! RAW is great to mess with exposure and large white balance adjustments and extreme color wrangling. But for many things JPG is just fine. Use the right format for the right situation ❤

Sorry man - but you contradict yourself... First you declare that shooting JPAG is very fast - as camera only need to store the JPEG on the card. Ok. I wander - what os faster - to render the JPEG from RAW or just save the RAW on the card? As we now have two operations - convert from RAW to JPEG and then store JPEG... Ok, go next. White balance. Yes - you spot it - if it is screwed when you shoot the scene - JPEG is ruined. But not RAW. So you get us an advise to shoot RAW + JPEg... Nice! What about timing to write both RAW and JPEG to the card? I do admit, if you shoot something that you do not care much as an image - then yes - you can shoot JPEG. But if you really care about every shoot you produce - then you certainly will not shoot JPEG, as RAW gives you all the necessary tools to make the image that you imagined rather than what camera produced for you. It will be like Ansel Adams after developing his film print it just using different grades - without any burning/dodging manipulation. And this is what you advocating. RAW file - is the processed film. How you will print it - this is what defines you personal imagination. Shooting JPEG - is a lazy way to get result that you may like - but may not.

I think you misunderstood my message. Shooting JPG works when you need a high volume of images to select from or if you have very short turnaround time, for example shooting photos at a live event that you hand off to social media mangers to utilize. Some cards also aren't fast to handle high RAW image write speeds so JPG is a way around that if you need to shoot a ton of images (like in sports photography).
