Okay, I'll admit that I was was wrong. RAW definately yeilds the better image. I took these two shots under less than perfect conditions. Indoors, handheld and in fairly low light. I think the shutter speed was at 1/10. This is a small portion of the back of a DIRECTV receiver at my job. This way I could tell the boss I was doing product testing. ;) They are obviously both 8-bit JPEGS now, but you can see the difference shooting in RAW made. The JPEG is fairly noisey and much detail is lost while the RAW image is much smoother and more noise free. The colors are true and it is just more accurate overall. This was my very first RAW import into PhotoshopCS so I didn't mess with the setting much. If anyone can tell me a quicker way to bring in RAW images I'm all ears. To have to adjust each one as it load would be a major time drain. Because of that, I will probably shoot JPEGS for most things still, but if I know I'll want a high quality image, I'll snap off a RAW shot too. I hope this helps those on the fence. Quality vs time, who wins? --Kort
