I'm guessing that you are not a pro photographer, so I say that you should not have any need for TIFs.

Not a pro. Just an old, retired guy with several 40 and 50 year old scrapbooks that I'd like to get into my computer's iPhoto.

Yes, you just need jpgs, which are compressed images and best for what you're doing. Uncompressed TIFs are very large in size, and are good if you plan on printing large sizes. It takes up a lot of space on your hard drive. JPGs, however, are still good for printing 5x7s and 8x10s.

I'm not sure what you mean by "photograph to digital converter". Do you mean a scanner? If so, I would get an Epson flatbed scanner if you're scanning prints. Epson is has a reputation of being one of the best brands. Also, you might consider getting an imaging editing application...Adobe Photoshop Elements ("lite" version of Photoshop) is very good. With this app, you will be able to edit your scanned photos and save them as a .psd (Photoshop), a .tif, or a .jpg file. In practice, you will use/control the scanner from within Elements. When the photo is scanned, it will appear in a window in Elements for you to save, or edit and save to whatever format you want.
You'll want to be able to work with, and save both TIFs and JPGs.
The EPSON Perfection V33 Scanner might be a good, inexpensive choice.

It would depend on your long term plans.
Tiff is uncompressed so the image is generally higher quality but this
means they will take up more space, load in a picture viewer slower, etc.
JPEG / JPG - is compressed and image quality will suffer - whether or not
you'll notice will depend on you and what you are doing.
Generally I would advise TIFF if you have the resources and converting them
to JPEG as needed - for example to email them or post online.
You will also want to consider the result ion and color depth for your
project.
FWIW - I'm neither a photographer or graphic designer so maybe someone with
more experience will chime in.

TIFFs are fully uncompressed or "bit mapped" images. They are large (in file size). These are generally only for images that you will be actively modifying at high quality and resolution. That is, professional work. JPEGs are compressed. How much is up to you when you make them. At the highest quality (least compressed) they are "lossless" meaning they contain all the meaningful data of the original, but in a more efficient form. They look the same as the original. Most JPEGs are at medium to high quality (these are arbitrary labels). Almost all digital cameras record JPEGs at high quality.
So, JPEG, at high quality.

Correcting my previous post... JPEG can be lossless, particularly JPEG2000, but not in all variations. Setting a standard JPEG compressor at 100 may not be technically lossless.

Without Steve Jobs, it's hard to tell. It would be cool if they could be on top in that market.
