Over at Naturescapes, a fellow just got his 5ds and states that his raw file is a whooping 52 mpix (don\'t know the complexity of the photos). If true Canon seems to be compressing the raw just like Sony 11/7; my A900 which is a 24 mpix camera produces 35 to 40 mpix uncompressed raw.
I assume you mean megabytes, mpix is not a measure of file size. Canon compress all RAWs using the lossless JPEG algorithm (encode as JPEG, take the difference between the compressed and original and store that using entropy encoding).
It\'s not like Sony\'s 11/7 compression at all because it is lossless.
