Let's consider some basics. Very first go buy another or even several CF and SD cards. It is foolish to rely on one card on a big holiday outing.
Now, Raw is not viewable. Period, you can't do it. It is just a series of ones and zeros. Conversion has to be made and the settings you select in your camera are used to do this conversion. Keep in mind the Raw file is not altered in any way by this. It remains as is.
""you spent $3K for camera and lens, and my iPhone shoots better pics?!"."
Sure it's possible. The $3K camera and the iphone are just tools. How you use the tools determines what you get. There is no doubt the $3K camera is far more versatile and adaptable. Ask that iphone user to make a 11x14" print or even an 8x10" for just one example. Of course shooting the family in front of the xxxxwhateverxxx and viewing on a 3" LCD the $3K camera and iphone difference might not be as apparent.
Again, the biggest benefit from Raw files is the vastly greater ability to do post editing. I think you should and I always do take a laptop on shoots with me. I use it to do my viewing and editing. That is a far better way to decide what to keep and what not to or to re-shoot. I have a 17" laptop with LR and PS on it but when I get back home I transfer the photos to my desktop with a 32" monitor. I do the critical editing there. So, anytime you want to compare your friends iphone with my $6K camera, bring it on!
