Its always far better to shoot in RAW for scenery/model photos - anything
that you want a high quality photograph of. (Different if youre shooting a
kids birthday party - jpeg is the answer there).
The biggest advantage of RAW Vs. Jpg is that the *adjustments* to the
image
are far more subtle than you'll ever get from Jpeg - jpeg by its very
nature
was created to that it *could* be compressed - this was the reason it was
created. If you get yourself the correct software for reading and
adjusting
RAW (I use photoshop CS3) then you'll instantly see the benefits of it.
