| The biggest advantage in my opinion of raw is the greatly increased dynamic range. When you convert to jpg, you will choose which part of the dynamic range you need, or you can even compress the range into the jpg range, and get the benefit of detail in the shadows and the bright areas. One of the advantages of additional dynamic range is that I am not so worried about getting the exposure just perfect, as I can work with what would normally be an over exposed shot or an underexposed shot, since the the data is there, just need to shift the result up or down.
