And more unfortunate that you seem to think I'm either making up my photographer friends or what they said about shooting RAW. One shoots rock and roll bands, among other things--everything and everyone from Miley Cyrus to Ozzy Osbourne to to the Jonas Brothers...the other's work appears regularly in the New York Times, Time, US News, Forbes, Newsweek...the list goes on. I once asked the news photog if she shot in RAW, and she said no, jpegs were fine for her. In the most recent conversation, three days ago, I asked the rock and roll photog if he shot in RAW. He said he has occasionally in the past, but doesn't bother anymore. When I asked why, he said it takes up a lot of space, and, "to be honest, I can't really see any difference." Perhaps he didn't use the word "discernible," but I think I got the sentiment right. Had I know my veracity was going to be questioned, I would've quoted him exactly. I hope this clears up any confusion for you, and assuages your annoyance.
