raw has more detail, less sharpening, and almost? no noise reduction
jpgs have consumer preferences output, tho not too excessive - more saturation and contrast, some extra sharpening, a bit of noise reduction. but none of that is horrid like other android phones... jpgs are quite usable. jpgs also have lens correction. RAWs do not have lens correction
one can easily do all that with RAW even with a preset (more saturation and contrast, some extra sharpening, a bit of noise reduction.). For example i set a preset of highlight 20 shadow 20 in c1 for my A6500 RAW
i just wonder why ken_in_nh said this?
"One thing I've found is that RAW is useless. I've been shooting raw for a long time on my 3, and now my 6, but at least in LR, it's impossible to get the raw shots even as good as the jpg. And at least under windows, the raw pics seem to be lower resolution to boot.
Strange."
I already explained the resolution issue:
"The raw resolution issue is curious. If, under Win 10, I check the picture file properties, it shows dimensions of roughly 640x480, but the same picture in LR shows full sensor (12mp) dimensions. The jpg images are so good, though, that I'm doubting the need to mess with raw. I don't, for example, see the over-sharpening that I did with my Pixel 3."
I suspect the reason I don't find much value in raw is because computational processing as applied to jpg is so good. Some jpg are combinations of multiple shots, for example, but you don't have access to each shot in raw.
