TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
Although this format is less commonly found in digital cameras, it is still offered in higher-end models like the Nikon D300 and certain older ones like the Olympus Camedia C-7070WZ.
This format is slowly being dropped by camera manufacturers as it takes up a lot of space in the memory media. Compared to a JPEG file of the same pixel dimension, the TIFF file can be 10 times bigger in file size. Since the quality of JPEG images is getting better, TIFF may soon become obsolete in digital cameras.
A redeeming factor for TIFF is that it applies lossless compression to your file when saving.Thus, you can get a richer, more detailed picture when shooting in TIFF.
Unless you are really fussy about image details and have a high-capacity memory media, TIFF files may take up too much space for storage.
