John,
With my E-510, I shoot RAW+jpeg. I connect the camera to my desktop via USB
using the cable provided with the camera. Elements 6.0 recognizes the
connection, allows me to select a destination folder, then imports all of
the files and offers me the option of deleting the files from the camera. I
do this, and never remove a card from the camera.
I have never failed to get any files transferred. I use the jpegs to do a
quick edit and select the files I wish to pursue. I then open the selected
ORF file in the RAW editor and adjust the file as needed before sending it
to Elements 6.0 for final preparation. I normally save these as TIFFs
unless I need to send them as jpegs.
With my system, I have not found a way to display RAW files as thumbnails,
hence the need for the jpegs. Otherwise, I would shoot RAW alone.
