Somehow, I may have missed a word, when replying to, I think is was DavidTaylor, who stated that he never shoots RAW.

Sorry for my mistake. My point was anyway that raw is not about "getting the exposure right", but allowing post processing in good conditions.

Yes, it was I. For the great majority of photos I take, and the results I want, RAW offers me nothing more than an extra delay in processing. I accept that there are times when the extra dynamic range would help but, coming more from a digital and video background, to me white clipping is quite normal.

I can and do use post-processing on some images, and JPEG is quite adequate for my usage. A lot of talk here seems to be from people who use RAW images in case their exposure is incorrect.

A more accurate interpretation might be that they use RAW images because of the scene's wide dynamic range.

I will use JPG for snapshots but not for images where I might want to print them to a reasonable size. In that case I prefer my own image massaging to whatever might be done by the camera.
