I only shoot RAW now with the M8. If you are using any programs that don't support the M8 RAW files, the advantage to shooting both would be that you can view the photos without converting them first. I think most programs will let you view M8 RAW files now, though. Tina Tina Manley ASMP, NPPA, EP, PI http://www.tinamanley.com
