because your camera is deciding everything for you and compressing the images. a better analogy than auto vs. manual transmission is having 3 gears vs. 5 gears... or fax vs photocopy. if you don't want the ability to fine tune images with the information captured directly from the sensor, then jpeg is fine... but you're unnecessarily limiting yourself.

edit: i shoot both and use jpeg if i'm uploading direct to social media, but that's because i already know their compression algorithm is gonna hose it. if my phone could handle raw, i would use exclusively that.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
