Canon's new 8:1 RAW Lite

[ntblowz]

With the new 8:1 compressed Raw Lite it need less space and less speedy cfexpress card, it is a a very welcomed update! No need for expensive brand name CFexpress when lessor know brand will work too.

It is way more manageable than the 1:3-1:5 one they used before, I wonder if the other Canon cinema camera and 1DX III will have this new compression in the future? It will make shooting RAW much more tempting for sure.

Having 8:1 also means mostly likely Canon will be the only one beside RED to have full debayed internal compressed RAW due to their cross license agreement.   Something other brands can't do in forseeable future.
