But a DSLR has LV feature won't hurt in any way. The LV only provides more flexibility and thus more photo opportunities afterall when we need to shoot at extreme high and low level.
Why even bother with JPG
I understand that all RAW files already contain JPG's, and a simple software program can easily extract them.
If the software developers design the program right most people would never even know the difference, but the people whom like to spend their time editing will have all RAW features at their fingertips.
Jpegs are for convenience and small footprint. RAW is good but it's time consuming for the conversion plus its file size is much larger (plus there is a converted image, also). For most users who just converted the RAW for one time 99% of the time, a good enough jpeg serve the same purpose as long as not much retouching and PP is required for the jpeg, directly out of the camera.
