When shooting in raw format, my camera (Nikon Coolpix E5400) only 
shoots in color.  Greyscale conversion has to happen during 
conversion.  When shooting in high JPG, even if I set the saturation 
to black & white, but the camera still shoots in the sRGB color 
space (color).  The file still has to be converted to greyscale 
later.

What this means is, no matter what setting you shoot with, unless 
you can control the color space up front, you are shooting in color.
