Reply To: JPEG or NEF format?

I’m not particularly qualified to comment on the science or technical aspect of the original post but I would say that for some the size of image files could be a factor. Personally, I don’t take a lot of RAW images as a lot of my photography is of meteors, noctilucent clouds and night sky time lapses. As such, memory space is very much a concern. For example, I’ve taken well over 30,000 images since July.
