Although Rainer is quite right in his assessments of RAW vs. jpeg, some cameras actually do make alterations in-camera to the captured image data before saving it to RAW.
This is one of the reasons why some cameras are great for astronomy use, and others aren't, as they may treat stars f.e. as noise or aberrations to be corrected.
Kind regards, Wim

Wim, I have never noticed this on my Canon cameras. Would I be correct in assuming that the Canon 5D MKII does not save changes to RAW files before saving?
Thanks, Pinhole
