RAW + JPEG

[Dman]

Does shooting RAW + JPEG count as two actuations per shot, or just the one?

just 1

Yup, pressing the button and flipping the mirror up and firing the shutter only once, it's the processor that creates the two images so no more moving parts are used.

Or one image (per shutter actuation) recorded by the processor in two different formats.

but some of the cameras with dual memory cards when set up to write the same image to both cards does count this as 2 acuations, IIRC canon 1d's do this, was reading a thread on it a while back on here or somewhere else.

No, for me I always counted an 'actuation' when the mirror flips up and back once.
