How many folks with the d300 are shooting in raw 14 bit versus 12 bit. Images are larger with 14 bit, that tells me they contain more data but is there any signifcant difference excluding really high iso?

I normally shoot in 14-bit EXCEPT when shooting sports as 14-bit does significantly slow the FPS rate on a D300.
I know this is an old thread, but I am wondering why some of you switch to Jpeg instead of RAW for sports.

If shooting for immediate posting of in-game/race images, I will shoot RAW+JPG and transmit the JPG images as they are much smaller files. They also do not require any conversion before they are published to the web.
I agree with that. Most of the guys that I shoot with that sell on site shoot Jpeg and while I understand the instant gratification needed by the customer, we then aren't providing them with the best possible shot correct?
I was referring to images that I shoot that are posted on NASCAR.com, MLB.com, NFL.com, etc. during the event for virtually real-time updates to their web sites; no need for 14-bit RAW images there. I still capture everything in RAW as well for later publication in print.
I know this is an old thread, but I am wondering why some of you switch to Jpeg instead of RAW for sports. My idea of RAW is to get as much color data as possible. I shooting drag racing and try to do that in RAW so that I can get as much of the color spectrum as possible.
