The only question I have is about shooting in raw. I know eventually I will do it. It seems to me you have more ability to edit exposure. Is this true?

Yes and No, but I believe getting the proper exposure at the time of shooting is more desirable because the exposure setting in RAW programs may work like Shadow/Highlight setting in PS .

So what is the real big need for RAW? I mean I would much perfer to get the right exposure from the get go. I really love those shots that I get and have no need to crop or do much editing. I feel as if I have accomplished something.

To correct white balance problems, and have more control instead of having the camera set it for you.

Warning for lazy guys - It takes a bit of work to post-process RAW files especially if you don't have it as a plug-in in Adobe PSCS2. Just started to shoot some RAW and have yet looked at them yet from the last couple months.

Read this Canon CPS Article about exposing to the right.

...and this article about Understanding Histograms...
