Not really nonsense Christine as RAW does give you that greater degree of control.
If you go back to the total newbie part the whole thing is quite daunting. In the days of film it was just a matter of understanding how the camera worked ..... and how many books have been written on that subject !! Now if you have to learn both it is a very steep learning curve. Quite natural for any newbie to use jpeg while they learn the camera. If someone then says jpeg is rubbish and lots better results from raw, then the gloss starts to be taken off the new found hobby, ( see post 75 ). Now probably too much to take on board. In time as knowledge increases so people may well move to raw for that level of control.
My case was purely budget driven. A move up could involve a new PC and camera in one go. LOADSA MONEY ££££££££££££££ so could this be spread in favour of camera first rather than last.
