Usually .JPG
It doesn’t matter, though, because all image formats are able to be converted into other formats

All produce files with the jpg format. Better cameras, favored by experienced and demanding photographers can produce files in raw mode, which are the direct output of the camera’s sensor and have the fullest image data. The jpg format is a "lossy" format. This means that you loose some picture data. This puts more constraints on what you can do in post-processing to perfect the image.

Some cameras will produce TIFF files, which are large because they are lossless. The benefit is that it is a universal format like jpg. Raw files are more specific and require the camera maker’s software, or a better quality photo processing program like Photo Shop Raw. You can convert raw files to jpegs for web display and printing.

DSLR cameras in 3:2 image ratio … (directly print to a 4×6 inch image with no cropping) as JPEG’s, RAW and sometimes TIFF files

Most P&S cameras shoot in a 4:3 image ratio and some cropping occurs when making any print … some have adjustable image ratio settings (3:2, 4:3 and 16:9) as JPEG’s and on occasion, RAW image files.

Most take them in .jpg format. Some of the pricier cameras also use .RAW format.

Usually JPEGs, but higher end cameras will take them in RAW format unless you specify otherwise.
