[QUOTE="nickt, post: 679948, member: 4923"] Better quality, but you need to make use of it. Its not an automatic upgrade to better quality. The codec will let windows see it, but no extra benefit unless you are using a raw editor. Free Nikon software will do it. I use Lightroom. There are other free editors out there, but I don't know what to recommend. Jpg's are created from all the image info captured by your camera. What ever is not needed for the jpg is discarded. Raw saves 'everything' so you have more to work with. More opportunity to bring up the shadows or bring down the highlights, etc. Not sure if you want Nikon View NX-i or Capture NX-d. maybe somebody else will recommend which or maybe both. These Nikon softwares will leave you with a good picture right from the start. 'Good' meaning the same as the jpg you had before. Lightroom and other free options will leave you with a blah looking picture until you work with it or apply a preset. So there is a little more learning curve to quickly get a good picture. The Nikon stuff applies the camera picture control settings right from the start. You could shoot raw+jpg for awhile. Soon enough you will be fine just shooting raw. It gets messy on your computer shooting both files. [/QUOTE]
