A request to Sony for A7 lossless RAW

sdgreen — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 22:42:38 GMT

Dear Sony

I am in the position of wanting to invest in a camera system sometime in the next 12 months. Please can you offer uncompressed or lossless compressed RAW in your A7 series. That would tip the balance for me in favour of an A7rii based system.You already have the high quality lenses I want. I don't want to invest in a system costing thousands if I know the RAW files have been cooked

Thanks

S Green

Hi sdgreen,

Good news for you!
I've recently read an article about uncompressed RAW here. Looks like Sony is already working on it

Cheers
PD

Wow that's a coincidence - it's very recent article. Looks like it WILL happen, just no timescale. I can wait - I'm using a NEX 6 based system at the moment & I'm not as bothered by any RAW file manipulation.

Thanks
