Most of the art fair guys I speak with are shooting digital and making their own prints. Cost control, quality control.

Or to put it another way, whether to shoot jpegs or raw depends upon the intended quality of the final image.

I kind of doubt that many advertising photographers shoot Jpegs, or the gal shooting Santa photos at the mall is shooting in raw mode. Also I doubt that there are many truly serious artistic photographers who are shooting digital (not the guys who are selling their photos at art fairs who are in about the same catagory as the starving artist --3 oil paintings for $20-- guys).

From my experience in various press venues, I'd say that magazine photographers shoot RAW, newspaper photographers shoot jpeg.

3) Find me one action photographer that wastes his space with raw
files.  They require lots of extra time to process.  Most action
photographers I know shoot action with jpg.


This s the one point where I would disagree with you.  Almost all the
action photographers I know from my times in the media room at motor
races shoot RAW.  Who do you think is buying those 12GB CF cards?
