If the image out of the camera is perfect, and needs no post processing, probably doesn't matter too much. If you need to post process (adjust levels, curves, colour, sharpness) then working in 16bit mode will result in a superior image - you can only get this by converting RAW to 16bit .tif.
Another reason - post processing software is improving all the time. I'm amazed at how much better results from the new Capture 1 LE software are compared to RAWs processed with Breezebrowser or Canon software - fortunately, because I always shoot RAW, I can go back and apply this enhancment to my older images.

Gary - well I can't say I've noticed that on D60/10D images, haven't tried it on a D30 image yet ... each camera has its own profile, so there may be a difference. Of course with all the controls available adjusting the stauration shouldn't be a problem.

I've not tried photobox
Software wise I find photoshop a bit complicated but I'm trying out photoshop elements at present which seems easier to handle. Which are the best packages to trial
