>>35809 One doesn't need RAW, but let's be direct: a JPEG file literally is a damaged image. There's no way around that. Whenever I can, I shoot in RAW, for no other reason than that I have the absolute best-quality image possible somewhere.
That said, my usual everyday carry camera is an S3IS, which only shoots in JPEG.
Whose boneheaded decision was it to keep with JPEG, now that there's other, better file formats and larger storage spaces? (Serious question is serious: why do we still use JPEG?)
>>35857 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't film last longer than digital?
Of course, the idea with digital is backups of backups... before the storage device spoils, copy it to another one. Another reason, BTW, for RAW: JPEG files degrade when continually copied, and if one wants them preserved for posterity, then a lossless format is what's needed.
