If you make that change and just shoot jpeg normal (not even fine)
quality, you'll have a hard time discerning the difference between raw
and jpeg.

Other than the limitation as to number of pictures on a card, which are
getting quite cheap, why would you not shoot everything in jpeg 'fine'. At
least then you can crop segments of the shot or the whole shot if you want.

The fine vs. normal distinction doesn't change the number of pixels,
only the amount of compression. So you can still crop the same with
either. I don't see hardly any difference between fine vs. normal so
I make my life easier with smaller files. Less time to offload the
pictures to the computer, less time to open them up in image editing
programs, etc.
