I have not shot a G9. However, I shot a G2 years ago. I started in jpeg, then switched to RAW. I have always shot raw since, and have never looked back. I now shoot a DSLR.

In RAW, you are the artist; not a Japanese software engineer.

That sounds racist.

Who would know better the sensor in a camera and it's characteristics than the software engineer that wrote the JPEG engine?

From the Canon G9 User Manual:

"When pictures are taken as JPEG images, the images are processed inside the camera for optimum image quality"

I wonder what optimum means?

Who says you can't be an artist with the camera's settings?
