New Ideas forum thread

I have several times been in contact with Sony with the feature request to get file size options on RAW-files on A7R2. They gave med a link to Sonys well hidden ideas forum and i posted the above idea.

Could the SA:Forum community help push ideas? I am sure there are alot of good ideas from Sony shooters here in this forum. Together we could start a movement

 

Hope we could push Sony together!

Most everyone here is adjusted to the 

fact that Sony is toadally unresponsive 

to their users. So no one is replying or 

considering wasting their time about 

such stuff. 

[samuel.andersen]

Hmmm, but there must be some way to reach out to Sony? Voting on their ideas forum should be worth a shot.

 

I hear you, but we should never give up.

Perhaps Sony needs a new Public Relation czar

Twice I have asked the Sony support team and they tell me to summit to ideas area on the Sony community forum.

 

Once in a while I'll just speak to them again.

Your syntax implies that they do have one. 

I perznally got some doubts about that :-(

In USA when our "elected representatives" treat 

us like that, it's called "kicking the can down the 

road" ... meaning it's bureaucratic obfuscation. 

   

A common method is to institute an "ombudsman"

official who acts like an ear to hear you, but back 

at the seat of power, he gets no respect. It's just a 

paid job for some official's nephew to keep him off 

the streets or whatever. Sony can do THAT, and it 

will keep you running in circles til you give up. 

   

I do feel a speck of remorse for stepping on your 

hope and optimism ... but merely a speck. I offer 

apologies if my reality based cynicism is "raining 

on your parade", but I just call it as a I see it :-(

"Stay hungry, stay foolish" someone said. I know it's unlikely, but if we don't try there is no theoretical chance. If we play there at least a tiny percent.

 

At least give me one vote for my foolishness?

I think you make this feature request sound more trivial than it actually is. I know that it has been done before by ie Nikon, but basically a downsized raw file is no raw file anymore. Resizing breaks the Bayer grid distribution that makes raw files interpretable by raw developers. It would however be nice to have higher bitrate saving options than jpeg.

[samuel.andersen]

That may be true, but that's over my expertise. Compressed raw could have this feature I guessing.

 

So have to buy a7ii or wait for iii for shooting assignments that do not require high resolution to speed up the workflow when working with hundreds of pictures. Blah
