Thank you in advance!

RAW is a format that is specific to your camera manufacturer. I like shooting in RAW simply because of the flexibility that you have in post-processing. With the newer versions of Photoshop (with Camera RAW), you can change dozens of different parameters such as exposure, white balance, contrast, shadows, lens vingetting, before you send it to PS to make the edits. This format also loses no photo data because there is no compression of the data itself when it is stored. Jpeg loses data everytime you save it, beginning with your camera storing it onto your memory card. Hope this helps.

Yes,ideed,it helps! I've read somewhere about the quality issue and I wanted to be sure about this. I will change my camera as soon as can. Nowadays many cameras have raw format. :)

| Raw is the output from your sensor (CCD CMOS) without in camera processing or compression. Since you get all of your image information you have more information in your image to work with during processing in an editing program. |

Thank you very much for the examples, the difference it's clear!!!
I like the raw file!
I have one more question: How is your Samsung camera? Are you satisfied with the camera? I am asking you about your camera because I like the design of the camera and also the big screen!

I have had my camera for about three weeks now and with any new camera it takes a while to get familliar with it. I takes great pictures when set up properly.
here are som pros and cons on the camera,,,
Pros
Takes great images.
Easy access to most settings.
Great lens
Great range of wide - telephoto
That big LCD
The battery never seams to run out
Well built.
Three displays any can be used when taking pictures.
Very usable manual focus.
Cons
Big (can be an asset)
Not lightweight.
Slow when using raw.
In some situations (dark room) hunts for focus.
Accessories can be lost easily (lens cap, lens hood.)Easily fixed with a 2 dollor cap saver...
A little noisy above 200 iso

How long does the battery last?
I took a look at your camera in a store and the first thing I loved about the camera is the big LCD...COOL!
