<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1107290, member: 2972&quot;]Not all cameras use compression.&nbsp; Specifically, both Canon and Nikon provide for a completely lossless workflow (e.g. RAW).&nbsp; Of course, compression is applied when you save as JPG or other compressed image formats.&nbsp; But from the time the image is captured until the time it is saved in a compressed format (on the computer), virtually all new DSLRs support a lossless workflow without the shortcomings/artifacts/approximations that are introduced by lossy compression algorithms (like JPG).</p><p><br /></p><p>Quibbling aside, your underlying point is a valid one -- cameras don&#039;t have as wide of a color gamut as the human eye, and being digitial in a world of analog means that there is an approximation made at the start of the process (e.g. a-to-d quantization).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
