Fuji X100 owners - do you shoot RAW or is JPEG good enough ?

[Mark Grant]

What's the opinion on the X100, is Jpeg good enough for most people or is everyone shooting Raw ?

 

[Jim Kuo]

I have the habit to almost always make some (even minor ones such as cropping or levelling) adjustments to the pics, so I shoot RAW to give me the flexibility of making changes without losing details.

I hope this helps .

Raw for me ... just gives that peace of mind for me!

Jpeg - I'm scared of raw! I'll get around to it...I did a couple of Raw shots, but haven't seen them as I can't view them on my computer. When I am able to open them, I will probably do Raw+Jpeg.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I thought you had gotten LR Rob?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Just the beta version, which has now run out. And I've run out of money, so it will have to wait.

next £100 spent then

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yup

 

[Chris Dodkin]

RAW for me - I like the tweaks I can do in ACR, and have always defaulted to RAW when possible.

As RAW processing has improved over the years, I've been able to go back to old RAW files, an extract better final images from them.

RAW with all cameras. As my skills improve and software improves, I can always go back to the source and apply a fresh interpretation years from now. With the Nikon, it is 14-bit RAW and 12-bit for the Fujis, allowing much finer tuning than the 8-bits per channel of JPEG. With the new X-Pro1, I am shooting RAW+JPEG for gratification while waiting for Adobe to release a new version of ACR. At that point, JPEGs get abandoned.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's a good idea. I'll shoot combined from now on. Future ready...

Larry, care to share your thoughts on the xpro1?
