Your camera likely will capture images in two main formats, RAW (uncompressed), or JPEG compression, though some compact digital cameras only shoot in JPEG. There are benefits to either. Your choice will depend on how serious you take your photography, your intended purpose for using photos, and/or hard disk space considerations.
