The Beauty of RAW mode

I've got into using RAW mode on my new Canon 550D and it's fantastic! The thing I particularly like about it is that reduces the number of settings you have to worry about. The way RAW works is it stores the actual values that are read off the sensor in the file. Things that change the appearance of the picture (White balance, Exposure compensation, Colour profile) are stored as settings which can be modified later in the comfort of your own home. This means that you only have to worry about the settings that actually change the light that falls on the sensor - Focus, Aperture, ISO, Shutter speed, and most importantly, where you point your camera.
