John,
The image posted just above was shot at JPEG, FINE, LARGE, this produces an 3008 x 2000 pixel image. This setting is just below the largest RAW file setting which produces a much larger file.
The difference in file size is substantial. For my purposes the large JPEG file is sufficient. I rarely work from anything larger than an 8x10 sized print.
I think if I knew that I was going to shoot a limited number of poses, in a studio type setting, which might tend to reduce the number of exposures, I would consider shooting the larger RAW file. I just don't like to have to trudge through 150+ images that are so large. I often times create 2,3,4 auxiliary images from each one I'm considering.
Opinions vary.
