Thanks Fire Angel and Gimbal. I started thinking about all of this because of recent threads along the lines of ...need new computer, software, sd card etc if I buy a new megamegapixle camera...It just seems to make sense to allow for multiple raw options, like they have been doing for years with jpeg options. With the GR, the embedded jpeg is small but enough to ck exposure, focus, and blur. If I shoot raw+ the preview defaults to the high quality non embedded jpeg and allows for full quality review.
To take thoughts a step futher, now that wifi is rapidly becoming part of the work flow for many, these additional options make even more sense. Would it be possible to offer an in-camera file zip option to allow for quick and easy sending of large files? Or compression on an sd card if you find yourself short on storage space? The raw option stripped of embedded jpegs is a step in the right direction, but still a large file.

Thanks, I was aware of the above. My post was intended to be 1/2 smarta** comment on antichimping and part serious inquiry into some detail as to why some camera companies embed such large jpegs into their raw files. Apparently Nikon embeds very high quality jpegs in their raws, but Ricoh embedded very low res jpegs in the GR raws. With file sizes getting as large as they are, I would not mind having a raw with no jpeg component. I would have smaller raws and could have the best of both worlds by shooting raw+jpeg, then easily delete what I choose. As it stands now (if I understand things correctly)I am really shooting raw+jpeg+jpeg. Doesn't that extra jpeg data just waste space and slow down processing? Heck if this is the case, you could just embed the highest quality jpeg in the raw file, get rid of the jpeg option all together and put a button in photoshop or whatever that strips the two apart should one decide to keep the images and work with both.

Why are raw files so huge? I have read that they contain jpegs imbeded in them to facilitate in-camera review. If this is the case, how much does this practice increase the size of the raw file? If it is substantial why not offer an antichimp file option to keep raws small?
