what is RAW?

[/quote]

Basically unprocessed shots, that allow you to edit/process the photo the way you want it when loading it into a program.

Heres the wiki for more info: [Raw image format - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format)

I really like playing with it. Also I enjoy how most Nikons allow Raw+ JPEG.
