A friend who has a Canon G5 and I have been taking some pictures recently.
Her camera had been set up for images to be captured in the RAW format. I
have a Fiji Finepix 3800 and have mine to capture at its' full 3 Megs. Once
downloaded to my computer, hers are visible, but at a file size of almost a
Meg and a half while mine are on the average 600Kb (in .Jpg).

Why aren't the ones I take any larger? What digital imaging precepts might
be escaping me?
