p.1 #6 · p.1 #6 · D800s rumored - Is the D4s small raw really a killer feature? | |
IMO it isn't going to help many people out on the file size front. Not only is storage extremely cheap these days, but a computer that can rip through D800 files is also relatively inexpensive. Also, as you say, the size savings compared to even a 12 bit raw aren't that big (again, IMO).
The problem with these sRAWs is that it's not really RAW. It's 11 bit data that doesn't contain RGB data like a RAW, but rather YCbCr like a JPEG. Dynamic range is lower as well. A tone curve and white balance are applied in-camera, cooked into the file. 12 bit Lossy RAW should definitely be better than sRAW still. Personally I would never use sRAW, I'd probably just use JPEG if I didn't care about data loss, but some people may find it useful.
I'm excited for the (rumored) D800S with D4S AF, and slightly higher FPS. Should make it just about the perfect camera for me.
