I shoot RAW and seldom, if ever need a JPEG SOOC. However, when I visited my wife's family in Texas, I wanted to leave them some JPEG images so I shot RAW + JPEG and downloaded the JPEGs to my sister-in-law's computer.

However, with the in-camera RAW conversion to JPEG that is now available for the Canon 7D through the last firmware upgrade, I could have done some rough post processing on the couple of images that I was leaving with them...
