In fact, if your camera is in the "B&W" mode, that's fail in and of itself. Never use that mode. Black and white pictures created in postprocessing from color pictures have a lot more potential for win than B&W straight from the camera.

listen to this man

you can basically get a MUCH nicer b/w photo by converting a color photo manually.
never shoot in b/w mode, neverrrr

Thank you guys. I will never ever shoot in b/w mode anymore =).

To actually explain why they are saying this.

If your camera is in b&w mode it has to make the darkest black and the lightest white, while filling in with grays.

If you shoot in color all clarity and vibrancy is retained. Then you simply pull out saturation from the master color channel in a photo editor like CS2. CS2 can do a much better at transitioning the colors to gray scale. I guess its like reading cliff notes compared to the actual book. Hope all this made sense.

Why shoot in color? Because you can convert them to B&W but not vice versa.
