Ok so I've been hearing a lot lately about shooting RAW vs JPEG, and I'm not completely sure I understand the difference. The one thing that i hear a lot is that RAW has more information for PP, but I have no idea what that means.

What is the difference? What are the benefits? Is there anything I need to do differently when shooting RAW?

Please don't just tell me to google it, I would like to hear personal advice and experience. :)
 
RAW gives you more flexibility to post processing. You lose very little detail compared to JPEG. The reason being is that the JPEG is already has been processed and compressed. RAW is basically your digital negative and has way more data then a JPEG.
