Some of the benefits of shooting RAW over jpg format
-jpg files are automatically shot in an sRGB color space
which we hace see has the smallest gamut.
-Dynamic range
a RAW file contains all of the data from the sensor which gives you a dynamic range of up to 8 stops. A jpg will give you at least a couple less. This translates easily to blown out highlights and loss of detail in shadows.
-RAW records the maximum amount of information
The best quality of a RAW file is the ability to post process. Non destructive software such as Lightroom and ACR can make endless adjustments to your image without destroying the RAW file. You can come back to it over and over and it will not be changed.
