Seriously if you're still learning and/or don't have the programs to use it, then there's no point.
I beg to disagree. Shooting both RAW+jpeg gives even relative newcomers a comparison to begin practicing their editing skills with RAW. Since Picasa can handle RAW from almost every manufacturer, everyone can have the tools to begin learning.Stealthy Ninja wrote: Only if you're good.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

But doesn't that take up double the space on camera then on computer?
I'd rather be shooting!

It also gives them a lot of files. I never understood the mentality of shooting jpeg+RAW in the age of lightroom and such.
