Sony has just announced that its latest cameras will gain the option to shoot uncompressed Raw files. The move comes in response to user feedback (and, we're told, our efforts to communicate this feedback to the company's senior management), and provides a choice between shooting the with the existing two-stage lossy compression or an uncompressed Raw file. Given the interest that was generated when we detailed the effects of Raw compression, we thought it was equally important to make clear the benefits of the newly-added uncompressed Raw option.
