I think that is a compromise that works, shooting in both formats and then you have the option, if any stand out, for extra work in an editing suite. I may give that a go once I have mastered the software.

I noticed the capacity of my SD card (16gb) was 1000 photos in JPEG and when I switched over to RAW I could only take just over 500.
That is the only problem I can see is the capacity of the SD cards to store out in the field, but if you have a large enough card and an external hard drive then shooting in both formats gives you options.

I did notice though that my pictures were not all that different in RAW and some were worse, so I think the skill lies in the ability to use the editing software.
