Excuse the Newbie

I have just found out that I can shoot in RAW on my Camera, To be perfectly honest I havnt got a clue what it means but is there any advantage to shooting in it as aposed to shooting in Jpeg?

Cool thanks, would you say that you end up with better shot because of this or is it just a load of hassle for an image that isnt that diffrent?

When you shoot in RAW there is no processing done in-camera. you do it all yourself via the software that came with the camera or any photo editing software that can handle RAW files. The file is not compressed so you don`t lose on any quality of the picture. the downside to this is it take up a lot more space than a JPEG file. It`s works in the same way as a 35mm camera only without the film the file becomes your negative.
