I share your old reservations about RAw and while I tried it for a couple of months, now I don't use it very much. I now tend to shoot in jpeg but save asTIFF before doing any post priocessing. I keep the original jpeg as a sort of negative and only work on the TIFF file. With this approach I get faster uploads to my computer and fewer hang-ups using Picasa.
I just got a new printer, a Canon C5180, and it came with capture software and built in card reader. I've only experimented with the software but found immediately that it while it imports RAW to the computer, the software doesn't allow viewing of Raw FILES. That means opening another program (RAW Shooter) to view those files. All very complicated.
