Files types and compression
All cameras deliver images in JPEG format, which should suit users who simply want to shoot and print. Look for the ability to select various compression levels. If you want to retouch, make collages of, or blow the pictures up to 8x10 or larger, the ability to shoot uncompressed TIFF and/or proprietary RAW images is essential. |
