Raw format is kind of like having the negatives. So the benefits are that you can work from a full original any time you want/need. It keeps the quality high.
There is a downside to raw, and that downside is that the image is uncompressed, so a 1 Gig card in the EOS20D will probably hold about 125 shots as opposed to more than double or triple that with jpeg. Raw photos in the 20D are around 8mb each.
