I assume your talking from digicam. RAW is usually some derivative of TIFF or something, no loss, no compression, HUGE files. In my experience high quality digital cam pics can be delivered, un-resized, at 10-quality JPEG with excellent results (provided the pic is high quality to start with) at much smaller sizes, with more flexibility (less work you have to do post-process it, faster to deal with because it's smaller).
