As above really. I only tend to use RAW on my camera when I know I'm looking at a good shot or the exposure is too tricky for the cameras meter to sort out for itself, and then I'll bracket manually using RAW as my camera won't do it automatically. The problem with any non-Dslr camera is that it won't have a RAW buffer, so your files will take anywhere between 3 and 15 seconds to save to the memory card, disabling the camera for anymore shots in the meantime. I've found with the panny that if I set the in camera procerssing settings to minimum and bracket by about 1 stop then I'm fine. Plus I get about 280 images versus 50 RAW on a 1Gb card. Panasonic don't compress their RAW files. grrrrrr.
