A DNG file constructed this way is simply an encapsulated RGB data file with lossless compression. It isn't a RAW file. You might as well just save as a JPEG at maximum quality, or JPEG2000. G On Apr 25, 2007, at 8:15 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: Dave, but what if you downsized the TIFF file

Funny, the market share of DSLRs is supposed to be much higher. I expect mis-information being used used as an attack. Reuters doesn't give a source for that 2.3% figure anywhere do they. Most likely they got that number from a party trying to sway shareholder sentiment. It's always a good

A true raw file would have to contain data for every pixel recorded. You could reduce the number or pixels recorded but then it wouldn't be raw. Pentax doesn't seem to allow capture of only a portion of the sensor data, if that's even actually possible, based on the sensor design. Shel

I suppose if Pentax used a system comparable to Nikon: using part of the sensor data allowing faster frame rate, then such a RAW file would make sense. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

I dont think there would be any reason why a raw file could not be resized down for other uses, but it technically wouldnt be a RAW file anymore if any sensor captured data was lost in the process and of course it would be if sized down. some sort of lossless compressed 16 bit format simliar to
