WOW my back hurts after falling off my chair!
I thought I would repeat my test changing a few factors. Firstly we are looking at 100% crops, on dpreview they use 200% to show difference between JPEG and RAW. I altered in-camera sharpening to 'normal' and did a size priority jpeg and quality priority jpeg. Finally I set RAW compression to OFF. I hoped to give RAW a better comparison.
I looked at the two jpegs and thought, yeah well I will not show the test tonight as its not square, I'll have another go tomorrow. Out of curiosity I converted the RAW and looked at them all 200% then.....BANG - legs in the air and sore lumber region!
I could not believe what I saw, two JPEG's have little in it but look close there is a difference. RAW seems to be picking up the print detail from the label much more than JPEG but when you realise its there, it can be seen. When I looked with my eyes at the tomato's label the printing lines are there, but your own chopped tomatoes from J. Sainsbury's and see.
Shown below is the composite of 100% and the original resized only. To see clearer use photoshop or similar to enlarge the image 200%!
I am considering using uncompressed RAW from now on, and fit thicker carpet and underlay in my office
