Fuji's HUGE RAW File Size
4

I just learned something completely new, and shocking.

Folks, I sincerely apologize if I'm really late to this party, but I just discovered how MASSIVE Fuji RAW file sizes actually are. Why are Fuji's RAW file size so big? Any particular reason?

I just found out that a X-T3 26MP uncompressed RAW file size is a whooping 62.5 MB?? The compressed RAW file size is 35.7 MB. Holy moly spicy guacamole batman!!

AND, I just learned that the Canon R5 full RAW file size is 46.5 MB and it's CRAW (Compact RAW) size is only a bloody 22.3 MB. Are you kidding me? Am I missing something here?

I have one dumb question. What are you expecting the new X-H2 40MP sensor to be?

All this time I've been peeing in my pants thinking why on earth would I want to shoot with a Canon R5 when it's file size is actually smaller than my Fuji X-T1. This night has opened my eyes and I will never sleep again.
