For me, there are some other reasons: - Most of the time the JPEG are more than good enough to print 10x15's. Using RAW+JPEG makes it easier to order 10x15's. - Displaying JPEG's on a PC is quicker than displaying RAW's - Having 2 copies of a picture is safer (if one gets corrupted, the other might still be fine) - Some photo-wallets can only display JPEG's (e.g. Archos) - The only drawback of RAW+JPEG is the extra storage needed. I have a 1GB CF card plus a 20GB Archos, for me that's more than enough.
