RAW vs JPEG - A Practical Look

Many people will tell you to shoot in RAW but do they ever really show you why it's important?

In ideal lighting conditions with perfect camera settings a JPEG may be sufficient, but what about those times where the lighting conditions are tricky or your camera settings can't be as easily controlled?

This short video is a practical look at why RAW files are superior to JPEGs. Even though you think a JPEG "may be good enough" it doesn't have the data in it that a RAW file does.

You can REALLY push a Raw file to the extreme and still retain data. A JPEG has to be shot in near perfect conditions or you lose a lot of important data, especially in shadow regions.
