This is not an attempt to troll or cause controversy.  Instead, this is meant to finally bring us together on the same page.

I understand RAW is not an acronym but I prefer using RAW versus raw to denote the difference between a file format that allows you to use and see the RAW sensor data versus the raw footage from any codec/camera.

Also, this convention is used by major cinema and photo camera companies.

• RED refers to their format as REDCODE RAW.  Source:  http://www.red.com/learn/red-101/redcode-file-format
• ARRI refers to their format as ARRIRAW.  Source:  http://www.arri.com/camera/alexa/workflow/working_with_arriraw/arriraw/format/
• Blackmagic Design refers to their format as RAW.  Source:  http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagiccinemacamera/techspecs
• Canon refers to their format as RAW.  Source:  http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/infobank/image_compression/file_types_raw_sraw_and_jpeg.do
• Nikon refers to their format at NEF/RAW.  Source:  http://imaging.nikon.com/history/basics/26/01.htm

I humbly ask that the DSLR and Magic Lantern community start using this convention as well.

Thanks.
