The Leica people in attendance from New Jersey( I won't mention the names) stated that shooting uncompressed was the way they recommended the camera be used as the Leica engineers had set the camera up for the best photo results that way. It would seem that perhaps that's not really true if folks are not seeing a difference compressed vs uncompressed.
