[...] Any of the professional-grade digital SLRs should have an option
for
saving the data in a "raw" format (which typically is actually just a
proprietary, non-lossy compressed format).

Actually, most RAW files are compressed somewhat, too. Read the
instruction
manual.

I said they were compressed. You even quoted the part of my post where I
said that. Something wrong with your hearing aid?
