If I happen to get it right the first time, I use the jpeg. If I don't get it right, I have the RAW file with which to make the necessary corrections.
When I shoot a really crappy shot, I keep neither the jpeg nor raw file.
I agree wholeheartedly, and that's what I do too.
Another thing I noticed: when reviewing pictures on the camera, if all I saved was a RAW file, what I'm actually viewing on the screen is the JPEG snapshot that's embedded in the RAW file. When I zoom in a lot, the details look atrocious and the JPEG squares are clearly visible, so I can't spot the details properly (because the JPEG snapshot in the RAW file is horribly compressed). But when I'm reviewing a JPEG or RAW+JPEG file, I get a lot more detail when reviewing the pictures at high magnification on the camera because I'm viewing the high-quality JPEG file itself, not some horrible embedded snapshot.
It's worth pointing out that the size difference between max-quality JPEG and RAW is tiny on the K7, even when using DNG. But using RAW+JPEG obviously uses up twice as much room as either one alone.
