So what? There are ways to compress things without loss. Not every compression is lossy. I don't know whether this is the case with Nikon's compression - I'm simply challenging the notion that the fact that compression happens equals loss of information.

I don't say that the loss in IQ is proportional to compression ratio...It was just a remark... OTOH, I'm not sure that the "lossless compressed" NEF is 100% lossless. Most probably it's hard to see the difference in sRGB gamut even in a decent IPS monitor. But I believe that "uncompressed" is more lossless than the "lossless compressed".
