[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 86779, member: 8928"] RAW is a direct output of the sensor with no corrections added, where with the JPG file format correction have already been applied such as sharpening, colour correction ,etc etc, and everytime you play with a JPG file and save it you lose more information EACH TIME you save the file as a JPG Reading various magazines, and also N-Photo magazine (100% Nikon ONLY) it appears a few photographers set the exposure +1 or -1 and edit it back later as depending on the shot can reveal more detail, but you can only do this in RAW format without worrying about losing detail I shoot in purely RAW as you can change pretty much everything AFTER you have taken the shot and don't have to worry about losing any information/detail from the image. Unless you shoot a lot in rapid succession RAW is preferred, I use class 10 memory as there isn't much price difference between class 4 or class 10 (the higher the class the faster the speed) You can get even faster cards but they start to cost mega money very rapidly.
