Yes. PNG is a bitmap graphic format, so images saved as PNG do not 
scale well. EPS is a vector graphic format although it can also 
'wrap' bitmap images. If you're using vector graphics (eg, using some 
drawing package to create graphs) then stick with a vector format.

The latex compiler will accept only EPS format images.
The pdflatex compiler will accept PNG and PDF images. The latter is a 
vector format.
