WE all do it our way. I'v did both for a lot of years and now shoot only JPG. My choice sand found several of my pro friends doing the same thing. So I don't knock the other guy but willing to help them.
PS spend less time on my computer and sales have not changed, so I getting away with more shooting and less computer time.

I think shooting both JPEG and Raw makes sense, at least for me. Generally speaking the JPEGs are adequate for most of what I do, but if there is a special shot or one that needs further work, I also have the RAW file to work with. Personally, I think it's excessive to edit the RAW file for every shot I take and honestly can't spend that much time on the computer anyway. When the JPEG does the job why make the extra effort, when it doesn't I have the RAW option to fall back on and these days memory is pretty affordable. Good luck and good shooting to all.

Not sure what camera you are using, but some cameras have two card slots. In the case of the Nikon 7001, for example, you have an option of choosing what each card does. You can have one act as back up, you can have both record the same (JPEG/JPEG or RAW/RAW), or you can have one record JPG and the other one RAW. If the later is the choice, then which card you take to the computer is the type of file found.

I generally shoot RAW only. But on a recent trip to Africa, I shot both. I used a new card for the RAW images every day or two, and left the card with all the JPEG images in the camera as one of my backups.

I occasionally do both when I shoot with a compact on bike rides. There’s been times when I look at the jpeg, compare to the raw, and think to myself, “hmm, little cropping, straightening, and this is a done deal.”
But... for 80%+ of the shots, you’re right, I discard the jpeg and work the raw and wonder why I bothered.

The only reason that I shoot both modes is that I use a Tethering program for portrait work and the jpeg files allow faster screen acquisition as the program does not have to process them as wIth RAW.

I am using a “free” (donation accepted) program called ‘Digi Cam Control’. I decided to accept some of the Awkwardness of the program to see if I liked tethering. I DO like it and now may buy a better program. That being said, I am very pleased with DigiCamComtrol. For what I paid for it it is doing a great job.

I shoot both RAW & JPEG. I find going thru the images for the initial cull of bad ones to be easier using the jpegs (the files are smaller & load faster). After I've decided which are worthwhile, I do the final edit on the RAW files.

I set my camera (canon dslr) to shoot raw and jpeg simultaneously. When I import the files to lightroom, I only get the raw files. what am I doing wrong?

Lightroom assumes you're going to work with RAW files, which is advisable, since they contain all the data. You should regard your JPEGs as back-ups and simply store them on your hard drive. But don't import them into Lightroom unless you want to work on them specifically. By the way, when you look at your files in camera, the camera is looking at your JPEGS, which contain whatever adjustments you made (i.e., you could be photographing in "vivid" mode, for instance). When you import the RAW files, they won't look as good because they have none of the in-camera adjustments. Of course, you fix that when you start processing them.

With all those lenses I'm surprised that you don't have two cameras?

I feel a gas attack coming on.
