Duh

Sorry for the misread.

If the jpeg was the only image you had, would you do any post camera 
processing? 
White point, dark point, hue/saturation, USM?

I'd not hesitate to suggest that shooting in RAW virtually always leads to a 
better image technically. For instance I just stepped outside set my camera up 
on a tripod, put it in program mode, set my A20/2.8 on infinity and made two 
shots, one as a jpg and one as RAW. In post processing the RAW image I 
optimised the exposure and reduced lens CA (I have a library of offsets for my 
lenses) in the RAW convertor and in PS I sharpened the image, the other image 
is straight from the camera:

http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/IMGP2845.jpg (1.75MB)

All the EXIF data should be relatively intact so I won't add any other 
technical information. Sorry about the subject matter.

Cheers,
