Anyone shoot raw? I've been reading up on it and a few people swear by it. Is it worth the disk space on my card to shoot raw + jpeg? I know you have more control of the photo before it's finalized but just wanted to know if ya'll do it and why?

RAW

When you shoot in RAW it keeps all the "raw" information from the camera's sensors. When you shoot in JPEG mode, the picture is compressed and a lot of information is lost.
RAW helps maintains the info/details of the picture, which makes for "better" image manipulation.
