SL2 might be on it's way this year?

If the SL is like the M10, the default and only mode is lossless-compressed DNG.

The SL's DNG files contain the image as 14bit uncompressed data, but the pixels are packed tightly together (not on 16 bit/2 Byte boundaries) to make the files a little smaller.

Should be a Panasonic based compact like a new D-/V-Lux.

Hopefully a true successor to the DLUX, based upon a 20MP 4/3 sensor, with that great lens and superb controls.

I am not so sure.

Back in M240 days i could select between compressed and uncompressed Raw, difference was twice the file size, 20 or 40 Mb. This tells me SL601 files can only be uncompressed as both cameras are 24Mp.

 

A Lytro Illum file (*.lfr) takes 100Mb. This includes the depth information of the picture.

The resulting jpg file delivers a picture of  2450 x 1634 pixels, for the outside world  . That is 4Mp!
