Glad I stumbled across this post.. For a while I’ve been thinking that an upgrade from my 50D to a 5Dii would be a no-brainer, but now I have my doubts. The IQ on my 50D isn’t the best, and the noise could certainly be lower, but it’s the high frame rate and snappy focussing that often gets the best shots. I’m actually beginning to wonder whether I’d find the 5Dii a bit clunky in the photo pit. Since I can’t afford a 1D, perhaps I should stick with the 50D and put any ‘spare’ cash towards lenses! Tricky…

Canon does not use pixel binning for sraw. For sraw1, this fact is obvious. The math simply doesn’t work. Each 16×16 block of pixels is resized to a new 11×11 block of pixels. In other words, sraw1 is 121/256 times the pixel count of the full image. How are you going to do that with pixel binning? You’re not.

For sraw2, it’s not so obvious. After a bit of careful thought, though, it’s clear that pixel binning is possible only if neighboring sensor elements are of the same color (you may note that there are other cameras that have been designed specifically with this purpose in mind and have a nonstandard bayer pattern).

For sraw to work, the whole image must be demosaiced first and then resampled. This is all done in the camera’s linear raw color space, so the values remain raw values.

Canon is tight-lipped on the algorithm used. It’s considered a trade secret.
