shoot raw or change ur camera settings then
>> Anonymous
also, youre losing a lot of detail in your shadows.. expose enough so that it gets detail but doesnt blow out, then selectively pull back in post processing if u need to.

if you don't have the memory, than by all means, don't bother with raw files... especially so, if you never plan on making large prints of your images. just make sure you set your camera's sharpening to it's lowest setting, so that you have more control over the jpeg, in post.
