Digital Matt said:I don't think the advantage is only at a larger print size. I think the advantage of more control makes for a better image, period, any size, print or not. You have more possibilities with raw. If it's not your style to post process your images, then that is totally fine. Don't waste your time, money, and CF space. If you like to really imprint your own artistic vision using all the means you can, then I think you would shoot raw despite it's drawbacks. They are much the same "drawbacks" to developing your own.
If you are still developing your own style, and unsure, then I would shoot jpg and learn to use your camera and lenses, and get a feel for what you like to shoot, and how you want your shots to look. Then invest in raw software.
Listen to what this man says. There is a reason his name is Digital Matt.....
This comes up every few weeks or so, and honestly I'm amazed that there is ever even a debate. If its worth pulling the trigger (shutter) on, why wouldn't you want to make it the best possible image? RAW is hands down the best way to reach the best quality image. Period.
I started shooting RAW the second day I had my dSLR, and I've never looked back. Not once.
