[QUOTE="aroy, post: 371444, member: 16090"] Even if you use a simple software like Nikon View-NX, you can convert all the RAW images to jpeg; with the camera settings; in a very short time. The only downside of shooting RAW is the card space and the limited buffer for RAW. If you are not using long bursts and have a modern card - say 16GB/45mbps then there should be no problem on either count. I use RAW primarily for three things . Change the exposure levels to my liking . Lift shadows when required . Crop This gives me plenty of latitude in exposure and less headache thinking about settings. If I want Vivid then I just set it in RAW, if I expose for bright areas, I just lift the shadows. If the noise seems excessive use NR. In short if the shot is perfect out of the camera (a rare occurrence for me) then I just convert it to jpeg as is, else a few adjustments, a crop and lift the shadows and the image is ready.
