Default Urgent Help Please re Image Quality

Im doing a photo shoot tomorrow at a corporate event for work. I want to be able to take as many images as possible, and can't decide on if I should use JPEG or RAW. If I do go for RAW (the conversion for me to DNG is a pain and time consuming) does it really matter what RAW quality I chooses? RAW, M Raw or S Raw? I always resize them anyway. Can someone explain the differences?

The basic difference is the resolution. Much the same as the choice of jpeg resolutions your camera settings give you. RAW being the Highest, M being a medium resolution and S being small. Much depends on final resolution, how many images you want to fit on your memory card and it may give you a higher writing speed to your memory card if your shooting at high continuous frame rate ( most unlike for this event) for action photography.

RAW keeps the most options open to you.

Success - I ended up just shooting jpeg after chatting to the event organiser about what they wanted and the intended use.

Thanks for your help guys.
