Riff instead of me elaborating this, why not try google first.
I'm not a school teacher
I didn't say JPEG and lossy RAW were the same thing I said a JPEG is a (form of) lossy RAW.
As far as elaborating I wanted you to elaborate on what I said that apparently so incensed you, not what a lossy RAW is. I don't care in detail what a lossy RAW is. "Lossy RAW" tells me enough. Don't want it, don't need it, don't think it is a good idea.
Quote: One "advantage" is that it offers a lossy version of raw.
I replied to this, as I don't see it to be an advantage at all. Buy a spendy camera and then set it to take images that are less then the camera is capable of, yeah great feature that! Oh but wait I can do that by shooting JPEG. <yawn>
Anyway you can have the last shot, better things to do then split hairs with you especially over this.
