I actually read something like that in a Canon camera manual. They said that for most purposes , you will see little or no difference between RAW mode and a JPEG mode on the highest quality setting. Apart from the fact the file will be considerably larger than the JPEG.

It's different if you are planning to print the picture on a large-format printer (A3, A2, A1 or larger), or are planning to work on it within photoshop or a similar image editing application.
