Is the raw still compressed?

 

"Photographers meanwhile will appreciate user reports that Sony have moved to 14bit raw for the A7R II’s massive 42MP stills, vs the compressed 11bit raw of previous cameras."

If I use "uncompressed" RAW, 14 bit with the only 36 MP D810, it's 75 MB. Same picture lossless compressed: 38.9 MB. Hard to believe, 42 MP … blast! I read "42 MB", sorry. 

 

@stoppingdown: it's "only" software, so a change of firmware can do a lot more things.
