The RAW files are a lot bigger as they capture all the information but don't make a picture, whereas JPEG's are compressed in the camera, white balanced and sharpened, plus a bit of colour correction, then turned into a picture in the camera.
Professionals recommend using RAW but I have backed off as it looked too complicated for me, I have Paintshop pro, and that looked complicated as well.
However I have been studying at the university of "You Tube" and decided to stretch myself a little bit. I may run out of the room screaming when I try to do it, but I have been shooting in Aperture priority for a fortnight and understand a little bit about shutter speed and ISO settings.
It's just a hobby when all is said and done and this helps to keep the interest there.
