I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT 8 megapixel and can shoot in RAW format or Jpeg. What are some advantages to RAW format?


Answer
The adavantage of using the RAW format is that you do the digital processing on your PC rather than the camera.

Digital images almost always require some form of sharpening, colour correction etc, the PC can do a far better job of this than the camera.

Shooting in RAW also gives you some adjustment over exposure, in case you find that the LCD screen isn't entirely accurate.

The Rebel cameras have always had a reputation for producing soft or mushy JPEG files, so for me shooting in RAW is an absolute must.

Think of it as a safety net.

You will need to decode your files, the supplied software is ok for this, though I find photshop (& photoshop elements) RAW convertor easier to use, if it sounds like a lot of effort, don't worry, the auto decode setting is usually prety near the mark.

What digital camera is a good buy for 250.00 dollar range?
