My preferred workflow would be: - Camera unpredictably decides a lot by itself in an opaque fashion. I get useful automation for family photos. - I get a RAW file if I want to decide something different or if I'm printing and framing a photo 99% of the photos I shoot fit in the former category, but the 1% in the latter is about equally important (1 framed photo is worth a lot more than a random cell phone snapshot).
