I just ran across my photos from burning man a year ago where I
hadn't realized that my freshly repaired K20 had been reset to the
factory default of "shoot jpeg". If I cared so little about my
photos that I wanted to shoot JPEGs, I wouldn't spend the money on a
DSLR.
If you get the exposure (and white balance, and ...) correct in camera
JPEG is all you need.
The best film-days analogy I have is that shooting straight to JPEG is
like shooting Polaroids, and shooting RAW is like shooting negatives.
The Polaroid gives you the convenience of straight to finished picture,
at the expense of doing any darkroom work.
Everyone shoots differently and decides what convenience level they
prefer and what they'll give up for it. For me, the RAW image I get in
the camera is just the beginning of the journey to a finished image. I
don't publicly display a single image, not one, that I can say is
Straight Out Of Camera. I have lots of images that I've never edited,
but it's because they haven't been flagged as keepers for further work.
