Default Compression in JPEG files in digital cameras

I'm not going to argue it that long,
but I would say that nobody has quantified the loss that comes from
the Bayer sensor versus the loss that comes from JPEG.

The real problem with JPEG is that it is not edit-safe,
rather than loss of information at creation time.


Is it not obvious to you that the "loss" from using a bayer sensor (which
isn't really a loss in the same sense) and the loss due to JPEG compression
are going to be cummulative in nature. Thus, the JPEG losses will only add to
any losses due to using a bayer sensor.
