RAW is all I shoot too. But for me it's not about slack and being able to be sloppy and fix in post processing....its about capturing the most data I can capture, and being able to hone it into the best shot I can muster.

If I had to shoot for an assignment for fast moving news...I woud shoot .jpg. Each format has its reasons and what works best for it. Photography isn't a one path fits all kinf of thing (otherwise the other paths wouldn't be an option...lol. Designers dont like spending money designing features that have no use. : )

I think WB should be set (if possable) for most any shot that allows you enough time to actually take the care to set up properly. For those times when you cant....its nice to have the backup of being able to correct later...as the shot is more important captured and adjusted than missed if its an important shot.

Most people get caught up in the idea that the way they shoot is the only way.....if being a computer technician has tought me anything ....it that there is more than one way to skin a cat...(so to say...lol) My cat non the less disagrees with me.... hee hee hee.
