To simplify, Raw is 10 times better in terms of color information. As far as resolution goes, no difference.

oh, i dont know about that, im only talking about resolution.

i'm upgrading my camera soon, and i'm definately getting one with RAW support for bigger, uncompressed files to be manually processed for my own (excessively) large prints. i am, however, against camera manufacturers developing proprietary formats for their RAW files, and therefore support the OpenRAW (.org) movement to standardise RAW in an open-source file format. Adobe are trying to unify RAW with their DNG format which i think great support will be added to if it were an open source format

If you have Adobe Bridge CS3, You can open a Jpeg in RAW format where it can be edited just like a raw file then resaved. Sayin that I still shoot RAW 99% of the time.

I use RAW because of the possibilities and by using RAW I can turn the file into almost whatever format I want to, including JPG. Because of the manufacturers not being unanimous about which RAW format to support (fore example, Nikon NEF or Canon CR2), converting your files to the DNG format for storage is probably good as that is most likely the future format. I will shoot JPG if the images are non-important i.e. NOT stock/gallery or for an assignment.

Oh yeah? Not just resolution-wise, but bit depth-wise, color gamut-wise? :-)

actually you may be surprised but its only recently with the invent of the 16 megapixel CCD that digital has been able to equal film.

I use RAW for 'important' shoots such as outings, landscapes, anything in which quality and post-processing is needed, for random snapshots when out with the friends or just playing around, JPEG is just fine.
