There are many reasons for shooting Raw, high resolution motion... from the substantial image benefits that come with downsampling, shot stabilising and reframing options, the future proofing of rushes, the rich grading depth of 16 bit colour, the extended exposure latitude, the 'softer' rendering that added resolution affords and last but not least the camera's potential to generate stills from motion.
