The availability of rental equipment is an obvious plus for Canon and Nikon shooters. But in regard to providing RAW files in those formats, that's a non-issue. I work for a lot of different pubs, agencies, stock houses and other clients, and no one has ever requested RAW files. If they did, I'd tell them no. Controlling the transition from RAW to tiff is part of the photographer's job, his signature if you will. I would never turn over the coarse data that is a RAW file. And I know of no working pro who would.
