YouDontNeedToKnowButItsNoëlleYes, on some cameras I have the default exposure at -1/3 stop. I rarely find white-balance to be an issue, but I'm not often taking stage pictures (and I can appreciate the need for extra margin due to the greater dynamic range). I did take this one in Argentina:
I think it is quite rare to have incorrect exposure nowadays, and this is far rarer than having improper WB. Or just, not-so-pleasing WB. Some cameras have a tendency to overexpose, but it is easily fixed with a slight underexposure on camera.
When I need jpg for immediate use, well I batch process the raw "as is", just adding size and quality reduction to fit use. This is no more work.
Doing a lot of stage shots in dark conditions, I have use of the extra dynamic range given by raw (I hate washed spots). And I appreciate to be able to use Dfine filter for the iso noise, instead of the build-in. For the rest, I must admit I like post-processing. Dry lab.
