My Lumix G camera will shoot RAW pics, but I have to hold my hand up and say that I have stuck to JPEG, purely because it is what I know...even though I have programs which will convert RAW data...I haven't used it.
Shame on me!
If you just want to take pictures, view, then post them, JPEG is the best way to do it. Raw is very time consuming, and have to be edited as RAW, then converted to JPEG before you can view them in other programs. My camera has the option to shoot both RAW and JPEG at the same time, but does use memory a bit sharpish, I found the end results were very similar for my type of photography and didn't really justify the extra time I spent editing and converting RAW. So its JPEG for me as well.
