They are typically not compressed, and they're perfect for those wanting a higher quality image and control over their images. JPEG images are often compressed, meaning they take up less space but offer less flexibility. The photo is actually edited by your camera based on the picture style you choose in your camera during setup. They are convenient for sharing, so consider shooting in both formats if your camera allows and you have the SD card space or memory card space.
