Most digital cameras offer image capture in the common image formats of JPEG and TIFF as well as RAW,  even the lowly most inexpensive point and shooter.  Nothing beats RAW for potential image quality. But in the past RAW was difficult to work with to get a great looking image. This is not true any longer.

TIFF files are higher quality than JPEGs, and JPEG files are smaller than TIFFs. File size might be an issue for you especially if you have older equipment. Large files take longer to upload to your PC and take storage space although these problems are not as much as a problem in these days of USB 2.0 and $100 2TB disk drives

If size is an issue then shoot JPEG. Remember though RAW files are also smaller than TIFF. For quality and flexibility in processing your images shoot RAW. I shoot RAW almost exclusively and you should as well. What are the the strengths and weaknesses of each of the formats TIFF, JPEG and RAW?
