CR3 at a glance

CR3

CR3 marks Canon's move into a newer raw-file generation as mirrorless and later-camera workflows evolved beyond the long CR2 era.

RAF at a glance

RAF

Fujifilm's digital-camera identity tied raw capture not just to sensor data but also to a brand-specific color and workflow story, which gives RAF a recognizably different practical role from some rival raw families.
