Rob, is the jpeg straight out of the camera?

Interesting Albano,
but I think the real comparison to be made is with two identical images, one RAW
and one hi res jpeg and optimize each one. Thanks for posting this.
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,

To me, on MY monitor, the larger image has more shadow detail and is
overall more pleasing.
I'm not entirely sure which is which, based on file size alone...
