Only RAW for me.  I do have the preview turned off.  I also turned the
preview off on my M9 and M8 after I used up 3 batteries in the first two
hours of hiking down the Canyon.  It made a big difference and two more
batteries lasted me the entire trip down and up.  (I probably saved a lot of
time not looking at previews, too!)

We're having a great time - recuperating today from the 10+ hour hike back
up.
