[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 48987, member: 1556"] Back in the old days, ('90s) if you had satellite tv you had a very large dish antenna that you rotated to find the best signal. Sometimes you could find "wild feeds", that was TV without commercials inserted or the sports or news announcers would be practicing their scripts for broadcast. Think of this as RAW. Dish Network has everything figured out for you, all the news or sports channels are sent in the correct order and at the correct time. This is like jpeg. With RAW, you get ALL of the data that the camera has recorded with each image, allowing you FAR greater creative flexibility to make the image that you see in your minds eye. With jpeg, your creative juices flow is a lot more restricted. How-ever, jpeg image files are a lot smaller allowing more images to be stored in the same space. As to which is better, that choice is yours. Which-ever file format fits your style is what is best for you. Hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
