Last week I borrowed a G9 for long term use. I will be taking the camera overseas, so I want to have reasonable mastery and understanding.

I've been shooting for a few days, reading the manual, and searching the DPR Canon PowerShot forum. Gradually, I made setting adjustments, etc. I tried shooting with the RAW and JPG setting. The developed RAWs came out well, but the JPGs were not to my liking. (I will try later).

Those of you with experience with the G9: What is your preferred setting and Why? JPG or RAW.

Thanks in advance for your comments. Since it's winter here in central Ohio I'm a bit limited.

If you look at the reviews of cameras done here by dpreview that shoot both raw and jpeg, the raw slider is always higher than the jpeg, that should tell you something.

Isn't that based on default JPEG settings and don't most good cameras allow you to alter those settings? I don't think that's a fair comparison, do you?
