If you are looking for genuine RAW files, the DMR files are probably the No.1 on the list, with the least amount in camera hardware/software processing and closest to sensor dumps.
Canon, Sony and Nikon's so called RAW files by the time they are written on to the flash cards, have gone through several stages of on chip hardware processing and DSP firmware massaging. That's why some people say "RAW is the new JPEG". LOL
It's really funny about the auto focus part, the first time I heard about it at the beginning of 2007 or the end of 2006, I thought the guy who told me was absolutely a nut, I turned to the forum and humbly asked, everybody thought that I was a nut ... when I said AF is good, people said it can't beat manual focus, when I went against the new AF mount, some people say Leica can't do it wrong.
