Also, dSLR's are used by many professionals who get it right in camera using jpg files. Professionals do not have the time to process multiple RAW images - they would become too expensive and would not sell anything.




I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised if many professionals really used JPEGs in preference to RAW because why on earth would they choose to throw away potential quality at the taking stage, knowing that it could never be subsequently retrieved?

I, as an amateur, always shoot in RAW and use Capture One as my RAW converter of choice. On their forums there has been a lot of sometimes heated debate and it seems to me that opinions are divided along low volume amateur/high volume professional lines. And one of the things the high volume professionals are almost universally demanding is a good, quick work-flow with flexible batch processing options. And there are other, widely used packages such as Lightroom that exist to solve exactly this dichotomy.

Yes, time, for any professional, is always going to be a priority, but that doesn't equate to having to shoot using JPEGs.
