We are using IP cameras, that's our area of research / focus. As such, those types of cameras so not have a raw option. We used H.264 with default quantization. We could have certainly used MJPEG, as these types of cameras support that but in our preliminary testing, it made no difference. That said, I do agree that a completely uncompressed, raw, image could make a modest difference. For our domain, IP cameras, we just don't deal with raw images.
