Chances are there will be little noticeable difference in image quality between FINE and NORMAL, but go ahead and shoot in FINE unless you are desperate for storage space. The most convenient format to shoot in is JPEG.
TIFFs also take a very long time to write to CF, and are about twice as large as a RAW file. Whether or not you can see the artifacts is another matter, YMMV. Compression produces artifacts in the image, so theoretically TIFF is better than JPEG in terms of image quality. TIFF is an uncompressed 8-bit image file. Theoretically RAW would give the best image quality, but it is a rather inconvenient format to use. They also require special software, such as Nikon Capture or a plug-in for Photoshop. However, RAW files take longer to write to CF than JPEGs (over 20 seconds on my 5700), and are approximately 3x the size of a FINE JPEG. The difference between RAW and the other formats is RAW is 12-bit while the others are 8-bit, and it stores things like White Balance and Exposure Compensation as separate data that can be easily altered.
VICKRS PHOTOPLAN MODE NORM PORTABLE
If you have a DSLR, Photoshop CS and/or Nikon Capture, several fast 1GB CF cards, and a laptop or portable hard drive, by all means shoot in RAW.
VICKRS PHOTOPLAN MODE NORM SOFTWARE
It depends on what software you have available to you, what kind of camera you are using, and how much memory and/or portable storage space you have.
What mode is the best to shoot with? Why?
