Question. Coming from D7200 with more MP I wonder why the (NEF) file size increased from ~30MB /D7200 to ~41MB /D500

The D500 has several options for shooting NEF's, each of which will affect the file size:

• Compressed / Lossless Compressed / Uncompressed;
• 12-bit / 14-bit;
• Large / Medium / Small.

To alter the Raw file settings: Menu > Photo shooting Menu > NEF (RAW) recording.

I use Lossless compression at 14 bits which gives NEF files of around 23 MB. There is no "Large/Medium/Small" setting for NEF.

Thanks. Is there a penalty to switching to lossless IQ wise. From what I read there is not but wonder what Uncompressed is good for then?
