For almost all my video footage I use crop, and also in some photos. When you shoot in RAW you have a little more freedom and you can cut without losing much quality. If the photos are for social networks, which will be seen in most cases on a smartphone or tablet screen, you will not notice the loss of quality.

Oh, I agree. Sometimes folks shoot for the output and JPEG is pretty good for most folks.
Years ago, I learned my lesson always shooting in RAW mode. I had left my camera in tungsten mode (which shifts to blue to remove a yellow cast of the tungsten light) and because JPEG white balance is baked in, I made a great photograph of blue geese on a blue pond. But with RAW I could have shifted that in a non-destructive way.
That was the day I decided to always shoot in RAW when I can. Sometimes, like in the case of my Fuji X-T2, I have one card for RAW and one for JPEG, so I can grab a quick and dirty (and usually 90% correct right out of the camera) if I need to. But my RAW workflow is pretty entrenched right now, so with the Mavic Air, I just have it 100% in RAW.
One of the benefits of shooting 100% RAW on mobile platforms, where folks like to shoot sunrise/sunset/clouds/sky is highlight recovery. You don't have that degree of freedom with JPEG files as you do with RAW, which contains many more bits of data to be fiddled around. Doesn't give you a better dynamic range, mind you, but you can absolutely shift highlights down, and shadows up, and you can bring out some great details. |
