When I shoot RAW I convert all my images to Adobe's DNG RAW format. If I had to bet I would bet Adobe will stick around longer than the camera companies and will retain backwards compatibility a lot better. Good point, and one many people make.

It should be possible to read JPG files well into the future, but I wouldn't be so confident about reading my Nikon's NEF files in two decade's time. Maybe a common standard will be agreed, but I'm not holding my breath! One thing you didn’t mention as a possible reason for not shooting RAW is the proprietary format used by many manufacturers.

(er... I should work on phrasing that a little better...) What I meant was that I started shooting only JPEG, cause I didn't understand or get RAW and didn't have a computer program to edit them. Then I switched to RAW when I realized the benefits, and kept shooting in RAW. I became frustrated with the size of the files and how each shot I needed to do something to it (since it looks so flat), even simple snap shots. So I do pretty much what you talk about. Simple snap shots of friends, things around the house, or just a photo walk, I trust the JPEG output. Challenging environments, landscapes, or photos I know I might want to print out, I shoot in RAW. Funny, I’ve gone both ways!
