Could someone explain what these mean?

Sorry for the noobie question.

I was just wondering that the terms RAW, TIFF, and ISO? Especially ISO, as I have seen it in many reviews, but I have no idea what it is used for or is good for.

Thank you:)

RAW = the raw data from the camera, before being developed by the camera's (or your computer's) jpeg engine. In film terms, equivalent to the "undeveloped negative." for more info, see this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format)

TIFF = Tagged Image File Format, an uncompressed photo file format. For more info, see this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format).

ISO: see THIS THREAD (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17330)
