File format RAW records images exactly as they were seen and the camera makes no adjustments to the size. It is sometimes called a digital negative because it is basically the pure digital image.
One neat thing about using the RAW format is that after you shoot an image and you decide that you used the wrong ISO setting when capturing the image you can actually go back into the image once it has been taken and reset the ISO speed. Cool huh!?
Another neat thing about RAW formats is that it is about 1/3 the size of a TIFF file. So it's still large but not ridiculously large. The only downside when using RAW files is that you have to have a image-editor on your computer that is capable of translating that type of file. Sometimes the camera's software has this or you can also find it with Adobe Photoshop with a certain plug-in.
