What we have from Nikon:
"Seamlessly switch between RAW sizes of Large (45.7 MP), Medium (25.6 MP) and Small (11.4 MP)"
This translates to:
Nikon specs:
L: 8,256 x 5,504 pixels
M: 6,192 x 4,128 pixels
S: 4,128 x 2,752 pixels
Reality:
L: 8,288 x 5,520 pixels
M: 7,104 x 4,728 pixels
S: 6,216 x 4,136 pixels
How it happens:
- first, the raw data for M and S is resampled in the camera, to get 7,104 x 4,728 and 6,216 x 4,136 from 8,288 x 5,520;
- next, it is resampled in raw converter software, to get 6,192 x 4,128 from 7,104 x 4,728, and 4,128 x 2,752 from 6,216 x 4,136.
M and S formats contain bayer pattern, not YCC data, as it was with previous sRAW format.
PS. This is not the first time Nikon are underreporting the number of pixels, same happened with D1x (and in a way, with D1 and D1h too).
