Lastly, all digital images share the post processing characteristic of
film
images in darkroom. Snapshot or not. Finishing the image is something
photographers have done since the 1820's. But dibble-dabble with archaic
file
formats in post-production is time lost. If you must have capacious and
lossless files, get an FX sensor camera that captures to a universal format,
such as .tif. Heavy-up your storage, and clear your calendar. (btw, those
juicy iPad images for Apple? 8x10 transparency film; further example of how
digital continues sold to the public in advertising via film image)
Mr Turk, Ms Wilk, I'd sure like to hear you weigh in...
Sorry, but I'm a big RAW fan. I can do things with RAW images that tiffs
jpegs won't do. I liken RAW to Silly Putty: it lets you stretch your exposure
in ways other formats can't handle.
I shoot in a lot of mixed-lighting environments, exhibit spaces with dark areas
spotlights, theaters...RAW gives me so much more flexibility than I had when
shooting film.
I agree film still has some advantages over digital, but I'm betting those go
away in the next few years...
