Today I will try to explain the differences between RAW and JPEG format, so you can choose the right format in the right situation.
What is RAW?
RAW format is a container that contains all the data captured by the sensor (metadata) without any modification and without any color profile. These data can be easily modified in photo editing software and the result is much more than that JPEG quality. RAW format can have multiple extensions, depending on the camera manufacturer:
NEF = Nikon
CRW, CR2 = Canon
RAW RW2 = Panasonic
PEF, PTX = Pentax
Olympus ORF =
SRF SR2 = Sony
DMG = Adobe
What is JPEG?
JPEG format is part of the lossy formats. These formats are designed for data compression, most often to compress data more efficient algorithms resort to giving up large amounts of data, because they can not be easily perceived by the human eye.
In the "chase" for as little space as possible, the algorithms used in JPEG encoding throw large amounts of nuances, details that can lead to alteration of the final product.
I recommend that you always use "JPEG Fine" for the best result.
Careful.
Each manufacturer has different algorithms for JPEG encoding, in conclusion, the results will be different even if you picture the same scene.
What format is best to use?
In most cases JPEG is good enough but there are times when we need RAW to capture unique moments.
You should know that the RAW format, even if they consume space on the card can be easily edited and the results will make you feel like real professional photographers.
RAW is a format that you must use it. Keep it on hand camera processor.
Get involved more, shoot RAW and you will not regret it!

and the same thing happens on phones. ?? I have an htc with an 8 mg camera and I saw that it makes 2 folders in which it puts the "original" pictures of 115 KB jpg format and in the other the same pictures but they have a smaller size of 7,9 KB and the same jpg format.
The smaller ones are cache ...
Congratulations!
Even expect such a tutorial
The thumbnails are small, some small pictures to quickly display in the gallery.
If you want to view a picture you tap the thumb and open your picture.
If you were to check the first picture you'd eat RAM immediately.
For a more objective comparison, it may have been better not to have applied the sharpness effect to the RAW version, or to have set the same value for jpeg. However, even so the differences are obvious. It can't be otherwise, because the raw data from the digital sensor is stored on 16 bits, which means that the file has 65.536 brightness levels, unlike jpeg which is on 8 bits, respectively 256 brightness levels. I wonder if there are video cameras that can record in a similar format, although, in this case, the resulting files would be monstrous in size ...
Hello Cristi have a problem with my website. I can access it and works very fine on their subdomain, but when I put my domain on their ip I chose Host A does not work then I tried CNAME and put the page address from the host and subdomain that is still not working. When you add in the IP address bar of my site unavailable error occurs Account
Maybe Have Been Moved account, deleted, suspended or not activated yet.
The Requested Resource Could not be found But May be available again in the future.
How can I fix it? address, DNS IP is over this go super well, but ip ba.
What app did you use to edit pictures?
If you scroll tutorial, was to find out!
Called ViewNX software is software that comes in the box with Nikon cameras.
It is to download the Nikon support website.
Nobody knows how to help me ...
That could help you have to understand.
Specify clearly what you did, where did you hosting site where you held before, etc..
