Everyone that says a camera will output a jpg that is the same as a RAW
converted jpg has not done the conversion and simply LOOKED at the 2
images. I have shot RAW and JPG, looked at the JPG then had my RAW
converter make a JPG with no changes in the settings so the 2 files
SHOULD be identical, but they are not. The RAW converted JPG was MUCH
sharper and the color was richer. I always shoot RAW and convert to
JPG....
