In the old days we needed to suck out the max quality from our images using every device possible.... then 16 bit nefs were the choice.
But I haven't used 16 bit since the D3... and frankly, jpegs from the latest cameras are good enough for most situations. I still use raw when shooting with D3 commercially in case I need to 'recover' an image. But find the D7000 jpegs are exceptional.
I do worry that there is still an attitude of chasing the best quality to the nth degree...instead of letting the image hold the viewers interest. I sometimes think if all the viewer can do is look at pixels and ink dots...they are missing the bigger picture!
You only need to seek improved quality when YOU aren't satisfied.
Just my take.
