Perhaps they could even do their research before they advertised and sold all those units. They could go for uncompressed CDNG, or pay RED (like what I assume Apple has done in order to implement ProRAW). RED’s patent is a travesty, but no one forced BM to drop CDNG. > forced by RED patents - they for some obscure reason have been able to patent compressed raw video I edited that out from the original comment as I thought it’s not that relevant, it merely demonstrates that a camera with a larger sensor in a smaller (AFAIK) body can record CinemaDNG in 14 bit FHD to an SD card (and UHD to an SSD) just fine. Would you be sympathetic to their cause? Knowing that they were also in the business of selling high-margin, very expensive professional-grade equipment to Hollywood studios, would you consider this kind of treatment something other than a ripoff? Would you still consider them “awesome” and their CEO “fantastic” if they just provided you with a free version of their commercial closed-source software (some features behind a paywall)? They’d issue a firmware update where they wouldn’t mention this at all, you’d apply it and lo and behold. Their legal department didn’t do their research, they didn’t feel like paying licensing fees, so they thought they’d just implement a similar platform themselves. It’s hard to draw a parallel with a consumer device, but imagine if Sonos completely removed Google Assistant, Alexa, or AirPlay 2 support (based off the specs section of Sonos One). Decisions are literally based on whether, say, an audio recorder supports WAV and whether it’s 24 or 32 bit. On the other hand, capture format is a principal consideration when audio or photo equipment is concerned. The best illustration would be that it did not warrant a line in technical specs. This particular feature may have been your low-key expectation, but it’s unlikely it was your principal consideration. Your speaker didn’t come with a promise that you can tell Google to play a song.
