Thank you all the above for asking the time to post your valued experience,s I have another question now after using it a little,is it me or is there little improvement of jpegs from the p7000 RAW files over the jpegs straight out of the camera,they just seem so good to me it's work for litle gain ,that's me praising thepegs produced by this gem,in comparison RAW out of my DSLR to jpegs show quite some difference.Graham
Disk space is cheap, so I recommend using mostly JPG from the camera, but saving the RAW with it, though it depends on the kinds of shooting you do. If you tend to take a lot of pictures or like to shoot quickly, the slow write speed of the P7000 might bother you. Obviously, if you tend to compose more carefully and take your time, a camera that is slow between shots won't matter so much. I mention it because I don't have much time either, but when I do sit down to review whether I have anything worth printing (being an occasional hobbyist) more times than not I wish I had the RAW if it's not there. At least for me, it matters most for dynamic range, such as saving the blocked highlights and lost shadows that the camera leaves in the JPG.
