I honestly shoot JPG 85-90% of the time... I get into RAW If I'm taking some calculated shots (model shots, assignment shots, stuff like this). Even though RAW is great for pp and setting white balance afterwards, I find it that I can just shoot 10 pictures (10 jpgs=1 raw in file size; I like burst) and get at least one image worthy. With raw I have to wait a lot for it to be written to the card and I lost a few good shots because of this. Another reason why I particulary like to shoot in JPG is that the .raf made by my Fuji is not that well supported by RAW editors (but with LR 1.4 I noticed that the noise introduced in my RAWs went down).
Another thing... I read somewhere that the best way to shoot concerts is to shoot them RAW... I shoot 1000+ shots at a concert, not to miss anything... RAW would be very bulky in such conditions (slow card writing, only 100 shots enter my 2 gb card and such). What doi you think?
