I will do the opposite, same as I do on my Nikon D810, if I see no difference I will use the uncompressed file option or a lossyless compressed one if it will be made available (who knows?). The problem I see in the present compressed file is not only the fact that is lossy but that the two stage compression as it is provided can easily create problems around high contrast edges and I prefer not to take that risk.if I see no difference I will continue with what I have used on every Sony camera since the a900 days
Jim, I agree with what Ario said.Vivek, it will be curious to witness that once this new RAW option becomes available if or just how many long time Sony users will use it or just keep using the current RAW format. I am sure at first everyone will play with the uncompressed RAW but in the end? Might be interesting to watch.
As on another thread if Canon and Nikon both develop high end FF mirrorless cameras and their lost souls return to their flocks I wonder just how long Sony will continue to make various RAW formats available in future cameras? I say this due to the fact in neither the A mount specific nor the apc E mount specific forums can I recall even one thread complaining about the current Sony RAW format.... Then again those specific forums have much fewer lost souls.
I really hope the Canikon companies do create a super mirrorless .... And I will find the new RAW usage a interesting item to watch because I can see storm cloud on the horizon starting to form because this new RAW may not be the type some wanted. Personally I will try whatever new RAW formats Sony delivers but if I see no difference I will continue with what I have used on every Sony camera since the a900 days .... It has worked for me and kept a roof over my head and food on the table for all these year's while some feel we have been crippled by the lack of what they may be use to and push exposure limit past extremes to show the error of our ways. This will be a interesting issue to witness as to its outcome 5 years down the road whether it is kept or not. There are reasons why corporate engineering do what they do and they don't take cost/reward studies lightly.
The Sony A7R2 is already such a powerhouse of technology that no company, not Canon and not Nikon, has the ability to just blow past it in one fell swoop.Vivek, it will be curious to witness that once this new RAW option becomes available if or just how many long time Sony users will use it or just keep using the current RAW format.

Lossless compressed would obviously be preferred due to around (quess, depends on algorithm) 40% smaller files, but either will do just fine. With uncompressed each of my 3 64 GB cards can only take 700-800 pics...Sorry for I got lost, what's the consensus now ? We actually want Lossless Compressed over Uncompressed over Lossy Compressed ?
Okay - sooo, who's gonna tell Sony ...
I just sold my Nikon D4 which has both great AF and a big buffer.Bill I don't know if you own a a77II but honestly it is a tough to beat AF system for speed and accuracy ........ here one from yesterday shot handheld with the a77II and a 150-600mm from quite a distance with clear blue skies and a 50% crop at somewhere between 500mm-550mm which is a effective FOV of a near 800mm on a 35mm body.
It balances well with the 150-600 and has a very fast frame rate and buffer... not bad for a $800 body..... it's not a low light king but isn't all that bad either compared to the original a77.
Service? I can't argue with anyone there.... it was totally idiotic to farm this process out when their in house process was so excellent. I went with the Sony Pro Service Support program just to have someone with some leverage on my side if I needed service.......
Nice!DPR got to try the new uncompressed feature, and gets some further details from Sony.
Summary:
- Artifacts are gone
- Files are twice the size (roughly 80MBs)
- Continuous shooting speed unaffected, but buffer fills sooner
- The processor (probably) can't do lossless compressed, hence the UN-compressed.

Here - What difference does it make? Sony uncompressed Raw
There, I started it!Vivek you and I both know the whining will continue even after this because they did not give us Lossless compression.
Okay your banned just for whining. LOLNice!
I hope the A6000's successor will have better processors and offer lossless compressed RAW option.
It is time that Sony redeem them by offering better cameras that befit their sensors.
There, I started it!
:ROTFL:Okay your banned just for whining. LOL
Im joking of course but for GetDPI folks make sure you got some fast cards. I have the Lexar 1000 now but I'm going to get the 2000. I don't want my SD cards winding up to be a bottleneck. Don't say anything on the other forums lets keep this one to ourselves. LOL
