Now, what usually happens when you want to take a bunch of snaps in quick succession is you have to drop from RAW to JPEG.
JPEGs lose quite a bit of info and tends to be a bit like an audiophile listening to a Costco stereo!
Microsoft’s JPEG XR (it used to be called HD Photo) have Canon and Casio agreeing that this might be a middle-ground solution; praps more for the cheaper DSLRs.
It has a wider colour palette and can show finer gradations than regular JPEG and it’s also got a better compression algorithm. This means that even with the extra info it wont suck all the power out of the camera.
Granted – if you’re wanting professional high-def, RAW is always going to win. For the rest of us it might help out when we need it.
Here’s what Wikipedia says.
