RAW Camera Format and Photography

Advantages of RAW

• Higher in dynamic range
• More control over image
• Correctable

Disadvantages of RAW

• Waiting for photo to be processed  on computer

Advantages of JPEG

• Sharper
• Processed by camera
• Smaller image

Disadvantages 

• Lower in dynamic range

1. Using RAW doesn't retain any data and is stored in the camera without compressing... meaning it takes up more space.

2. Once processed on a computer you can manipulate white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows and colors.

3. Not all cameras have RAW, and you will need a higher memory SD car, and you can convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around. 

4. Most of a photographers time goes in editing, if your not willing to take the time to make a photo better than RAW isn't good for you.
