Some surprising information. It appears that Raw files for Sony cameras are compressed using a lossy algorithm, which means that some of the data is discarded during the compression process. It appears that whilst this might not effect every image, but there are some situations in which it will be noticeable. I do not know about you, but I want all the information captured by the sensor to remain intact thank you very much. There is more at Digilloyd.
