Some of them are already $1000. Just to avoid 20 min/week of editing throw "NO THATS PIXEL PEEPING! BAD!" copes directed at anyone with more than 1080p and a non-phone screen pointing out the smeary detail and color fog

Yeah, it depends on the camera.
I tried using a profile on my Canon for a cinematic street photoshoot and the result was crap. Luckily I also shoot raw.

Recently i've began to realize this.
Almost all cameras today have jpg settings in the cameras also highlight, shadow, contrast, saturation settings.
Most shots i take don't need that extra 10% detail of DNG, carefully adjusting each components 1 to 50 level with viewed on my color graded 4k monitor.

That's what your fukken sellphone is for you tard. They even make crappy fx to make your shitty jpgs look even shittier so you can pretend to be "authentic" like some sad bastard who has no place in this world.

you can literally just make your own preset for raws and it's as fast as using jpegs but looks better and has more dynamic range

Shooting jpeg is a world of bullshit
>need to buy specific bodies for their SOOC jpeg rendering. Some suck at high ISOs, some don't, some smear more, some smear less, some have the good settings, some don't. This is why certain cameras have inflated in value from $50 to $500. Zoomers can't use computers and MUST shoot jpeg, and if they want ISO 3200 to not have colored dots all over they MUST buy a certain camera.
>need to fiddle with settings before taking a picture or accept camera-generated fuckups. white balance, "dynamic range optimizer/active d-lighting hdr###", color profile, etc.
>can never fix anything in post. must be on top of camera settings at all times.
>shoot more worthless photos, delete more worthless photos, all of a sudden the jpegger yearns for film
>lens magic is real again because camera lens correction support isn't always there or good, and lenses effect on color and detail is magnified by camera jpeg and minimized by typical raw processor defaults
Basically it turns photography into a gear-centric activity which is great if your real hobby is using a camera and looking like a photographer

With raw every camera is the same
>doesn't matter if it's a sony a6000 or a canon r6ii everything looks fine
>Don't overexpose, otherwise who cares
>white balance? lol
>no idea what half these settings do don't care
>click auto and spend 30 seconds moving stuff
>editing 500 photos would take forever, so shoot it like it's film

nah you just go full rajeesh mode and use the AI integration to learn how you like photos edited and then let it grokify your raws

I have a workflow that works for my camera, so I have no reason to shoot jpeg. You're kind of shooting yourself in the leg by refusing to learn how to edit. By shooting jpeg you're losing image quality and you're taking photos that you won't be able to adjust later should you learn how to edit. It also fucks you if your camera gets the WB wrong.

the thing is, that workflow can easily be transferred to a different camera since there's not a big difference in raw processing despite what schizos here will screech
shooting raw is just more practical, if you care about space you can just shoot compressed raw

"Developing" the photo is half the fun. Its part of the process. If you are just letting the camera decide every aspect of the photo just use your phone.

Within a decade your phone will have AI connection that looks around and tells you where to put your phone to frame and composit your photo and then it will take a photo and 3d scan and use them to AI generate an infinite resolution replica of the photo designed to be maximally aesthetically pleasing, better than anything a human could ever produce

you can ask AI today to make cartoons and paintings, but people still draw and paint. id be worried if i were a professional doing this but as a hobbyist, who cares? if you dont want to use skynet to take pictures then dont do it.

editing 50 photos (1-2 weeks of snapshits) takes 15 minutes
maybe 20-25 minutes if you have a lot of fuck ups/moire

learn to use a camera instead of spraying and praying

The last thing I want to do is "know what I'm doing" with digital cameras jpeg settings. What a fucking waste of time.

You go ahead and toggle white balances, DROs, and stay on top of exposure while the world passes you by. I'll sit comfy with exp. comp -1 and not give a fuck. Which is basically what shooting film is like (but negative film is +1)

you are also limited to a selection of overpriced meme cameras for their jpeg output

with raw, every camera has the same image quality and "color science". stop being a soulless techie bugman and learn to do things that actually matter.

I don't use meme cameras,, I use previous generation or the cheapest new ones, True satisfaction comes from being able to know what the image is going to look like before pressing the shutter
