Re: non-full RAW files

[Randy Little <randyslittle@xxxxxxxxx>]

The reason are higher burst rates for those that need that for whatever reason.    Not everyone always needs large files all the time but would still like raw files for archival reasons.

Hmm. Based on

it looks like the other RAW modes are simply not using all the pixels of

the sensor. Quality will absolutely be affected. I cannot think of any

reason you'd want to do this; if you bought a camera at a specific
resolution, you'd want to use all the pixels you paid for. If you want a
smaller file for a given session that isn't as important, don't shoot RAW,
and shoot in jpg mode instead.
