Resizing to jpg from Raw files

Not sure why I do this now but I usually take my raw files and save them as jpg's resized to 1920x1280.

On my camera (1DMKIII) I can shoot in sRAW (1936x1288) or RAW (3888x2592). So my question is would there be a difference if I were to shoot in sRAW vs RAW if I'm going to downsize my pictures anyways?

Maybe for cropping purposes?

Thanks,

You would be SOL if you ever wanted to print something bigger then 10x15cm (about 4x6").

Bad idea IMO.

I never shoot in anything except the highest resolution I can get. I never know exactly when I will want a big print or larger file for whatever reason.

Why buy a camera like that and then cripple the results by shooting half the resolution possible? I don't understand that reasoning.

Even if you always print small (though you never know when a nice picture that you would like to print larger comes your way), cropping ability is certainly the other argument against shooting at low resolution.

Although low sensor resoution is not the only limitation to cropping - lens resolution has to be considered as well.
