this thread came at the perfect time.
i was on my way to the camera repair shop last week for my nikon n80 when i got in a wreck.
today i finally brought the camera to the shop and when i opened the case i realized the lens had broken in the crash.
now i've got to pay for the camera repairs [estimate at least $150] plus buy a new lens [the one i had was about $120].
so i am debating on whether or not i should fix the camera, or put it towards a better film camera, or make the switch to digital.
so many factors to consider!
digital is looking tempting, i must say.

I must say, apart from file size I see no difference having shot in both RAW and jpg...

Olympus OM-1. I develop my b/w films and print them in a darkroom. As for color films though, I have those developed in a cheap store (HEMA) and I either print them myself or I just scan the negatives with a Nikon filmscanner. Depends on the job.

Jevad, how do you 'develop' RAW? I prefer photoshop. Whenever the camera gets WB wrong, RAW gives you.. well, raw data, in the form that it had just before WB was embedded in jpg. Try to play with it, you can set white balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, luminance smoothing and so on during 'developing'. Normally the camera decides about those settings in the moment photo is taken and jpg written, all excess data is lost and you can't really play with those settings anymore.
Also, as I wrote, RAW gathers so much information, that you can easily underexpose down to -2 when shooting (it looks almost totally dark then) and bring it up in the RAW development process. Extremely usable in low light shooting without a tripod - you get shorter exposure times this way and are able to make shots that would be blurry otherwise.
