Fuji shooters raw,jpeg or both

Whats your choice

Always shoot both with any camera, RAW on one SD and JPEG on the other.
Its only with Fuji that I've ever been able to just use the JPEG's for most things though.

Only JPEG - it's good enough for me and no kerfuffle

Both, memory is cheap, best to have all options available

This.

I mostly use RAW and give it a quick edit in Lightroom. But it's nice having the nice JPEG file for when I'm too lazy to edit. Memory is cheap, so night as well.

I find that sometimes the JPEG is pretty good when shooting at higher ISO, depends on the dynamic range in the scene though (and the film simulation), but normally a little RAW tweak for me as well.

I save both never bother with the raws though!

 

[mickledore]

RAW only.
Tried the JPEGs but found I was having to tweak them, especially the mono shots, so decided that if I'm going to have to work on files I may as well start witth RAWs to give me more leeway.

Jpeg

I find it's plenty good enough for my requirements.

JPEG. I'm a) lazy and b) lazy so CBA with much (if any!) PP. It's very rare that I HAVE to get a shot and on those occasions a chimp and a reshoot if necessary get me the results I want/need. Always large and fine - it's easy to drop pixel count etc. but impossible to add it.

As others have said, memory is so cheap that I can't see the justification for only shooting jpeg. The main thing is to be fairly ruthless in deleting what you'll never use, since multiple back-ups are time consuming and wasteful.

Currently shooting both on separate cards only out of interest to see if the jpegs are useable. I suspect I'll change to shooting raw with card backup soon enough though.
