So, why shoot RAW on the GR digital if it's so much slower than using JPEG?
Laying aside the quality and control issue, curiously it's actually quite a good thing to be slowed down.
I'm used to using relatively fast cameras; my 40D does around 6 FPS, as does my EOS 1N. My 30D does 5. The G9 manages about 1.5 sec/frame in RAW - it could be considered slow, but it's still fast enough to take 3 of 4 pictures in a few seconds before something moves.
When shooting RAW on the GRD, before I press the shutter, I think whether the settings are right, whether the framing is good etc, because I know the camera's out for 10-15 secs after I press that button: You just can't use it like a machine gun, which it's tempting to do with a fast camera.
The GR isn't the thing to be shooting portraits or fast stuff with by it's nature; it's 28mm equivalent lens would give a fishbowl effect to portraits and it's simply not long enough for most animals or sports, so it's being a bit on the slow side really doesn't matter.
