So if you're not going to use it what's the point of being excited by it?
I know what RAW is, I understand what it is and why it's used. I actually went to a photography workshop a few years back.
I don't disagree to having RAW but I don't get the overall excitement about having it. I'll explain it this way.
Since the world of mobile phones can't seem to break the 32GB barrier without SD cards (which can sometimes be difficult to remove) or costing a fortune space continues to be a premium. RAW image files are huge. The larger the mega pixels on a camera the larger the file.
Next, RAW files need post processing to be used. So even though you're able to do many wonderful things with a RAW file to fix flaws in it you will need a good photo editor which hopefully has a good image converter built in. I'm just not sure in our day and age of posting to Instagram and using Snapchat where people are going to take the time to do this sort of thing on their mobile devices. It's different if you're a professional photographer or a good armature but the average person?
So on the whole I think it's great to have RAW but I don't see the excitement from some people about. What's the gain to the average person other than more fiddling around with images?
Maybe it's my age but the obsession with cameras and images lately is a bit odd.
that's why im excited
