Ups and downs to RAW. The downside is large files and longer processing time between shots, probably not noticeable if your camera is newer. Milliseconds.

The upside is post processing of RAW images is easier and you get better results. White balance, colour balance and all variations look better with RAW files than JPG.

This is what I know, I'm sure others here more knowledgeable could add some more.
