Setting the camera to a particular colour space is fine - but it only affects Jpegs, which are 8-bit files and, of course, compressed. So Deena is right - if you shoot Raw the color space setting is irrelevant. If you're shooting Jpegs, the slight difference between sRGB and AdobeRGB is negated by the reduction in colours caused by using an 8-bit file..... though there's a guy at a local photographic shop who keeps saying that Raw is a waste of time!

All in all, though "Colour Management" is perhaps the most difficult part of processing if you want to make quality prints.
