RAW definitely takes more work. If you want to go straight to facebookFacebook with an album of 50+ photos, you may want to consider using JPG. Using RAW allows you to customize white balance, exposure, etc. This takes more time, but can yield a better photo. If you have the time, this is the route to take.

If you are going for the HDR effect, you can sometimes acheiveachieve it with a single rawRAW file, and use exposure adjustments to create 5 differently exposed jpgsJPGs for merge. ItsIt's harder to accomplish that with a single jpgJPG as source.

Finally, if you have enough memory cards, some cameras allow you to record both rawRAW and jpgJPG for every shot -— this is what I do, and may be a good option for you.
