Indeed it does shoot in RAW format. On some of the other forums,there are discussions that go on ad nauseum about the advantages of shooting in RAW format. No intentions of getting anything started here, but if you have Adobe Photoshop CS, which has a RAW file converter, you can download your RAW files directly into PS and your options are unlimited. Photoshop is one of the most amazing pieces of software I have ever seen. You can do things in PS that simply could not be done in a darkroom. Be warned though, it takes some time to learn. You aren't going to sit down and use PS in a sitting or two. But as you learn more about it, you can do more and you begin to produce better photos. Which is, after all, what it's all about.
A camera like the DRebel and photoshop, it doesn't get any better than this...
