Easy, eh? You'll know when you do need to shoot raw.

Just after you have missed that once in a lifetime shot that needed raw?

It would just be my luck that the only once in a lifetime shot
that ever comes my way would need an MF digital back much more than
raw from a small sensor. :)


It is worth remembering that if you can't take it in raw you can't
take it in jpeg but not vice versa.

Hmm. My Fuji can take a long burst of 40 fine jpg shots, but is
limited to only one raw shot. It's not quite that bad with my
Nikon, where it can buffer bursts of up to 16 fine jpg images and up
to 4 RAW images. Ok, I realize that you're talking more about image
quality than the number of shots taken, but a shot that's taken is
of far greater quality than one that's missed. :)
