Depands on what their shooting...most if not all paps shoot jpg purely so they then wi-fi them straight to the desk quicker, remember, time is a premium to them.
Ok, Raw files take up more mb's than jpgs do. I for one cannot sacrifice space over 16 bit quality!
Raw v JPG: I shoot/shot Raw for many yrs. Raw can convert to 16bit TIFFs whereas JPG are only 8 bit regarless on what format one saves them too.
Can pull back the highlights, the exposure, white balance...kinda stuck in jpg (unless one knows how to work the cam:-)
