Unfortunately even from that short time I have a few images that are round filed because of blown out highlights. Shooting JPG is so limiting in all respects. Some shooters have told me they have to shoot JPG due to needing to take so many shots at once and not wanting to do any post processing. They very carefully adjust the camera to achieve a perfect result in JPG. I guess that would be fine in some situations. It seems kind of a waste though...
