Why take chances with .jpg, in case you ever need to make additional adjustments to any of the sized/cropped images and re-save them? I use the same concept when scanning - scan at a huge resolution for archiving, then save as TIFF. Edit only on a copy of the original scan/photo. Mark – I also shoot RAW, but convert to TIFF.

If you're serious about photo quality then why not use the capabilities of your camera? I have never understood shooting a smaller size. Storage is not that expensive, so who cares if you can get 1000 images on one memory card? I fix the RAW image if needed, convert at full size .jpg, then make copies to crop down to whatever size I desire, whether it be 4x6, 5x7, etc. Later on I can go back and make copies of the "big" file and recrop different ways or do whatever I want with them. It has come in handy more times than I can count. I always shoot in RAW and then convert to .jpg. If you’re serious about photo quality then why not use the capabilities of your camera?
