1) The files are too big so and it takes up a lot of space
2) I dont like the xmp files in my folders when I download the pics to my computer
3) Each company has specific RAW formats, meaning everytime I want to give my friends pictures I have taken of them straight from the camera I first have to download a olympus RAW file reader.
4) I can do the same things in photoshop and bridge to the RAW & JPG files.
I cant come up with any advantages. Please advice on how best I can take advantage of RAW files.
Thanx in advance.

I am new to photography as well. Ever since my mentor advise me to try shooting in RAW due to WB issues. I am now shooting in RAW and never looks back. You get more details while doing PP (post processing). Files size is big but it solved by getting the Sandisk Extreme III 16Gb CF card.
