Which Nikon DSLRs have lossless raw or uncompressed raw?

[QUOTE="Ben321, post: 492787, member: 40708"] Thanks to all you guys for the info. Lets narrow the question a little bit more though. Not among the Dx, or Dxxx, or Dxxxx cameras, but specifically among the Dxx cameras (such as the D70), which of them supports lossless compressed and/or uncompressed raw files, rather than being limited to only lossy compressed raws? I've heard that the D70 itself only supports lossy, but that the D50 also supports lossless and/or uncompressed raw, but I've never seen any official statement from Nikon if this claim is true. However, if somebody else can backup these claims, it would validate them for me. Does anybody else here know what the raw capabilities are among the various Dxx Nikon DSLR cameras? I'm particularly interested in the Dxx models, as I've seen a number of them on ebay for around only $100 to $200 dollars (very cheap for Nikon DSLR cameras), and even better yet, a few of those Dxx models on ebay have been modified by the original owner for infrared or "full spectrum" use. This is a very attractive idea for me because infrared use would allow viewing sources of near-IR light (such as TV remotes, IR lasers such as from a CD player, and other scientific uses), and I happen to have a strong hobby/interest in science (even more than photography, and for me, a camera is simply a scientific tool in my toolbox).
