I know what you are thinking, file formats!! How exciting....yawn. Believe it or not the format you decide to shoot your photographs in does play a significant role. It's importance is highlighted not so much whilst you are taking photos but after. Typically when talking DSLR's the file format photographers use mostly is called RAW. Think of it as the negatives that used to be produced with film camera's of days gone by. The other file format in popular use is the JPEG, which many people are familiar with. If you have any aspirations of being a professional photographer, then forget about shooting in JPEG, the file type just does not have the required level of detail to produce top quality photos. Also if you are doing post processing you should ensure that the RAW format produced by your camera is accepted by the software of your choice.
