[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 637480, member: 15675"] I just bought a D800 cheaply (400 EUR) from a pro (>260000 clicks). When changing the settings to what I want, I noticed the pro (NPS program) "reporter" shot 12 bit lossy compressed raw, full manual. Conclusion: he had a D800 for the button layout, but did not need the full IQ the sensor. I can understand for "reporter" work, I was already surprised with the D800 choice for a reporter. Still confused why he was moving to a D850 now, probably a price consideration. I stand on 14 bit lossless compressed raw, but do go auto ISO as I'm a bit lazy. I know that pros in sport events use JPGs from a D4S at 16 Mpix. [I][B] Are enthusiasts exaggerating with 14 bit lossless compressed raw?[/B][/I] Some studio work is certainly done above 14 bit (medium format). [/QUOTE]
