Edit: Sorry if I missed the sarcasm. I see now you are referring to a Canon marketing feature that has no value. Sorry I'm slow today...
No problem haha but I wasn't being sarcastic
I like the idea of small RAW or sRAW in Canon terms. I'd like to have the flexibility in WB, exposure and all. However at times I don't need full 14-15MP.
For example, for the paid shoots my partner and I do but don't need large prints (he uses a Canon) I don't need full 14-15MP. It slows down my post-processing quite a bit and takes up more space.
So if it's possible to have the advantages of RAW but less MP, I'd find it very useful.
