Oh please. I was reading your comments just the other day about how you shoot jpeg sometimes, in part because because it's potentially faster, in a different thread. Quit being ridiculous in your pathetic attempt to look down at me


Oh please, why don't you learn how to read? He shoots jpegs at times because it is faster, not because he gets a better image. What don't you understand about the difference, or do you you just enjoy being miserable

If you knew how to read you'd see the last 2 paragraphs of his incredibly condescending post completely contradict using jpegs because it's faster

The only answer: So you can capture the most amount of image data to give you the most flexibility to shape the image out of the camera. That’s why. Thats it.. the lens does not matter because it’s raw vs compressed etc.
