7D Jpg and 7D Raw the Same?

I do not understand why people are comparing raw vs jpeg. There is very little to compare, they have different proposes.

It's like cars, there are small cars, big cars, sport cars, trucks, semis... They all have an engine and they all use some type of gas. They just have different purposes.

I mostly use raw, but there are times when I need to shoot jpeg. I have gone close to 2 minutes at 8 fps. I sell jpegs and occasionally tiffs to my customers.

Raw files are more flexible but they are not "stable" files. Giving my raw file to anybody, including any other professional, and nobody else will be able to exactly match my raw image. Changing processing software changes the image. This doesn't happen with jpegs or tiffs.

Different formats, different purpose
