I extracted the file size for the full size embedded JPEG from the first 52 Alpha 1 RAW files in the DPR Review gallery along with the compression type and quality (see the export below). It shows the full size embedded JPEG is ALWAYS in the RAW file no matter if you are using lossy or non-lossy compression and it doesn't matter if you are shooting RAW + JPEG or just plain RAW.
That full size embedded JPEG is always there taking up a huge amount of space! That embedded JPEG ranges from 2.25-11.5 MB with no ability to control it's size. This is in addition to the old version of the embedded JPEG from before that is around 0.4-0.5 MB that is also inside the RAW file at the exact same time! What a colossal waste of space and not to mention in camera power and CPU usage just to create the full size JPEG!!! Around 5-20% of the ARW file is just from the embedded JPEG previews! WTF? @Alex Phan, time for you to send my feedback to Sony again about their bad engineering.
Canon's RAW format is so much more space efficient. How could ANY Sony engineer think it was a good idea to waste so much space and CPU power embedding full size JPEGs into RAW files that are always there and take up a significant amount of the overall size of the RAW file?
