I'm still in two minds about all this... I've been shooting in RAW pretty much since I got the camera, but found that the pics looked pretty much ok as they were, I didn't think they looked flat or washed out or anything like that.
A couple of weeks ago I did a test shooting in RAW+jpg, and compared the two files side by side. I must admit I was hard-pressed to see any difference in them at all, even when viewing actual size rather than reducing the image to fit on the screen, even though the RAW was 6Mb and the jpg was about 750K! The colours looked the same, and I couldn't see any artefacts in the jpg.
Admittedly I haven't tried getting any photos printed up yet, certainly not at a size I can hang on the wall, so maybe I'll be proved wrong in time. I'm happy to post a RAW and the associated jpg somewhere if anyone wants to have a look and show me where the differences are!
