DSLR people--question about shooting

I know not to shoot in RAW to save room, but what about JPEG normal versus JPEG fine or JPEG basic?

Also, what about image size?

I just want to keep it at the same setting while I go away on a trip to take pics...last time I *think* I accidentally put it in RAW or something else and was only able to take 100 pics on an 8G card

(this time I have an 8G and 16G card w/me)

TIA!

RAW doesn't compress the images. It is the true photograph taken as is and is the best quality to use. To save space if your not doing this as your main hobby or semi pro or pro i suggest shooting in JPG quality HIGH and the largest file size possible.
