I think RAW is excelent format...

I have 3year experience with scanning slides and now I`m shooting with Canon D300 only to raw.

Of course RAW is little bit bigger in size in comparation to JPEG but two or three years back if you wanted to shoot in full size you have to shoot to tiff and this format is mayby 5 - 8 times bigger then RAW.

For people who are not photographers and from time to time they set wrong exposure the raw format is good since the exposure can be adjusted +/- 2.5 EV

Its the matter of time (1 - 2 years) when ccd chips in the digital cameras will have the same size as standart 35mm film and then the images from digital and sfrom slide will be the same quality.

Only weakness of RAW is processing to JPEG or TIFF since if you buy digital camera you have to deal with shitty software. If you want to process RAW comfortly and professionally you have to buy good software which costs $600 (talking about C1 pro) which is the best I think.
And processing of 100 RAWs takes you at least half an hour...

But still RAW rocks.
