I seldom shoot in RAW for a number of reasons. First, I don’t have a high-capacity memory card. The only one I got is a 256MB CF card, so I can only store a limited number of shots, at most 30.
Secondly, it takes a long time to write a RAW image on the card. For a resolution of 3072 x 2305, it takes about 10 second to write. It’s one of the many setbacks of using a point-and-shoot camera. Which is a pity because RAW images really are a stunner.
