I always shoot RAW. :] Purely for the reason of proving the pictures are mine.
However I never thought of editing the RAW files instead of the Jpeg's. I thought they'd be the same quality tbh.
I'll have to check this out!

Oh my. 0.0
yes these certainly are my shots from 1st leg of Northern UK Masters
I was competing that day so didn't take that many pictures. after removing blurred and repeat photos, managed to whittle them down to 130odd photos

What settings and equipment did you use to get the sharpness of the colours and freezing the balls in action?
(If you don't mind me asking)
I would agree, there is a lot more leeway with editing images shot in RAW however, when shooting 3,000 plus images a day, over 3 or 4 days at a PSP or Millennium event can you imagine the amount of storage needed, Especially when shooting at 20 plus MP. You can still make minor adjustments and even add border and filter effects to Jpeg images, but, why would you want to, if you have got it right (or close to) in the first place?
When I shoot Pro cycling, TDF, Milk Race, etc, the agency stipulate Jpeg, these images are syndicated the world over, often in a matter of hours, little or no post editing needed!

When I was shooting, I had my camera on continuous shoot. (While I held the shutter button down) but after it taking 2-3-4 images it would stop taking pictures and freeze for a while while storing them. :S Does yours do the same?
Two things that limit the speed and number of shots you will get in burst mode.
IIRC you have a 550D, the camera is rated at Continuous: 3.7 fps up to 34 Large/Fine JPEG / 6 RAW frames
The ultimate limiting factor is buffering (like when you watch a Youtube video on a slow connection) of files being written to the memory card by the image processor and firmware in your camera. If you are getting less than this it's most likely down to your memory cards, to get the full benefit you need cards with the fastest write speed possible.
Unfortunately, manufacturers read/write speeds are the optimum, not those actually experienced in the real world.
Stick to Class 10 cards, preferably from the main brands, and preferably their higher spec ones, sorry, might be Tesco noodle time again
