A: I teach that a photographers should shoot .jpeg, highest resolution (use all your pixels) and highest quality (least .jpeg compression) for the following reasons:
- Murphy's Law states that if you shoot at less than your full capability you will capture your best image.
- You cannot see the future (nor can I). However I know that there will be more capability in the future to do more with images than there is today. If you capture your best images today you will have a better opportunity tomorrow to do even more with them.
Rules are made to be broken...and RAW is made to use. Stay on the learning curve. Keep challenging yourself. Do your best!
Just posted! Our new lens review of Nikon's top-end fast telezoom, the AF-S VR-Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8G ED-IF. This is the first in a series of reviews in which we'll be comparing it with similar lenses from Canon, Sigma and Tamron, using both APS-C and 35mm full frame cameras. The 70-200mm F2.8 VR has long been a favourite of Nikon DX format shooters, but how well does it stand up on the new full-frame D3? Read on to find out. 
Canon has released firmware updates for its range-topping EOS 1D Mark III and 1Ds Mark III cameras. The updates, to versions 1.2.3 and 1.1.2 respectively, provide new custom functions to provide direct access to autofocus points and additional ways to apply exposure compensation. They also promise to: "improve the stability of AF accuracy in AI servo AF mode when shooting extremely low-contrast subjects."
