How It Works

RAW files are much larger than JPEGs because they store unprocessed sensor data at full bit depth. A 45MP camera produces about 63MB RAW files (14-bit lossless) versus about 14MB JPEG Fine. Shooting RAW+JPEG uses both, doubling storage needs but giving you editing flexibility plus a ready-to-share file. Always bring more cards than you think you need, especially for events and travel.
