You can make any comment you want about the jpeg engine (or out of camera jpeg IQ), but you commented on the general IQ of the camera.
It’s a false claim to say that only those who make money with photography shoot raw. That’s like saying the only people who had darkrooms did photography for money.
If Sony kicked ass, then Samsung and LG wouldn’t be destroying Sony’s flat screen TV business.
Right, Sony makes some good image sensors and good pro-video cameras, and some good still cameras.
Your defense of Sony is a bit ironic, given that clearly Sony isn’t using the greatest jpeg engine for this camera–you’ll need a Fuji XPro1, XE1 or XE2 for that. (Not like the Nikon D4 does bad jpegs either–but unlike Fuji not using a Sony sensor.)
I see no particular reason to shoot anything but raw, unless you know that you’ll be immediately uploading the file to Facebook.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
