Popular Photography has a useful article on File Formats that will help you work get your head around RAW files, JPEGs and the like:
'In most cases, uncompressed TIFF files are cumbersome in-camera, being slow to process and write to memory, but they come into their own when working in an image editor and shouldn't be ignored completely.
RAW files offer sublime versatility, but the spectre of guaranteed support for so many individual formats in 10 years time, let alone 70 years, may preclude their use in a routine for archiving. That said, they offer unparalleled versatility for the majority of users.
Highly compressed JPEGs can still provide quality prints, so long as they aren't going to be repeatedly edited and substantially enlarged. For sheer functionality and all-round versatility, the high-quality JPEG, is difficult to beat.'
