I appoligise for this Rob but I think Duncans needs are greater - see attached pic.
Other than the ability to correct WB and exposure probs the main advantage of RAW appears to be 12 bit colour.
Another little experiment ...........
1) Convert the BLT from RAW to TIFF and from RAW to JPG using Nikon Capture.
2) Convert the TIFF to JPG.
I did not take this pic as a JPG fine but the previous post suggests it would have had a higher colour count than ex RAW.
Results :-
TIFF 34.78mb file ........... 698848 colours
JPG ex TIFF 3.65mb file ... 297901 colours
JPG ex RAW 6.11mb file ... 263905 colours
So for those with limited HD space the better option appears to be RAW to TIFF to JPG to retain max colour count. Then delete the TIFF.
Of course the next question will be how large do you have to print to see the difference ?
