There was a story about one of the big charity fashion shows at one of
the London, Milan, Paris fashion weeks about two years ago. They
restricted the number of press photographers to only about 30 who
snapped away at all the models and celebrities. Then they wired their
pix to all the agencies and newspapers. A few days later some requests
came in for hi-res files for whole page use. Not one of the
photographers had a file big enough. Something like three of the
photographers who were shooting RAW + jpeg wiped their cards of the RAW
files to get more shots. I heard this story from an agency owner who
told me that his photographer, the only one shooting film, lost out in
the lottery for press passes.

Actually in some cases 'not good enough'.
I have heard it said more than once by football magazine writers they
sometimes cannot use shots from matches for cover stories as the
quality is not good enough for magazine editorial as it was shot
digitally with ease of wire to papers in mind.
