Hi Claff,

between the lines you seem to imply this ‘baking’ is not a good thing. But could it not be that Canon understand the sensor and processing and desired end result to such perfection that this so called ‘baking’ leads to a better rather than worse result ?

While I'm not him, from my point of view, the problem with baking processing in is that it's optimal if you assume the current processing is the best there can ever be. But in real world, both the available algorithms and processing power tend to improve over the time. And unlike in-camera processing, doing conversion from raw does not have to be done almost instantly while processing files on a computer.
