Very different to jpg compression for example. I'm just shooting everything uncompressed anyway. The buffer "issue' is only relevant if you shoot continuous sequences of 6 or 7 DNGs (at ~35MB a file). I guess if you have that need then shooting compressed DNGs is the answer. 2009/12/21 Philip Forrest <photo.forrest at earthlink.net> > Is that compression lossy? > > > On Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:45:16 -0500 > Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > > > > But it will not be used to take pictures unless the issues > > > identified in the review are addressed...slow AF couple with > > > impossible MF--would you put up with it just because there is a red > > > dot?
