Another thought on the matter. I just came across this video on youtube: [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtLF-L-IeV0"] about custom print making. At about 5:00 he explains the color depth difference between jpg and RAW. I found it very informative, in case you're still undecided!

I shot only jpg on my K2000 for many years, even though I always had access to PS to use for my other graphics. It was enough for me back then, and the work I was doing (basic outdoor portraits) didn't require a ton of image data. It wasn't until I started using Lightroom that I really appreciated the editing capabilities of RAW, and even though I mostly shoot RAW now, I think a lot of my photos could just be jpg.
Jpg is a way smaller format, and if you don't plan on heavily editing your photos I would say save your disk space. RAW files are ten times larger. I have't used the K30, but I imagine that it produces solid jpg files right out of the camera. If your cards are big enough, Jatrax's suggestion of shooting RAW+ is a solid one. You can choose to just delete the RAW or jpg file in camera, too.
