I'm wondering about this too. Storage of raw images esp. is already a difficult problem (not unsolvable, but expensive).
I wonder if the future would not be the opposite? Store low-res images and upscale those you need with the help of AI.
Maybe in the future we can have just one super high resolution image for a shoot, store all the other images as super low res, and use the high-res image as a reference when upscaling. That would be very cool I think.
- bayindirh 4y agoLossless compression of raw images solve much of these problems. Also flash memory is getting cheaper and faster than these cameras getting resolution. The problem for the serious photographer is nonexistent. A 2TB drive is very sufficient for any amateur photographer using a camera in 24MP-40MP range. We store raw images to archive what we got. AI interpolates. It's not acceptable.
