I don’t shoot lossless or lossy raw on any camera, the z9 hasn’t got a totally uncompressed raw mode. There is no free lunch.

I'm sure the Z9 has a lossless compressed raw format?

I think he's refencing the Z9 doesn't shoot uncompressed RAW at all. Which is correct. The Z9 only offer 3 different versions of compressed RAW. 2 lossy, one lossless.

Personally, I think Nikon's RAW files have always been pretty nice all the way around. Whether its color or dynamic range, I don't think they would shoot themselves in the foot by replacing uncompressed options with compressed options if it wasn't as good. So I wouldn't think there's anything to worry about there, but I'm sure it won't be long before its verified.
