Native in-camera raw video support
The following cameras allow audio and video to be shot in at least one raw (in the sense of a series of raw image format frames, such as in CineDNG) format. Lossy compression may be present. However, "raw" means the image data should not have gone through demosaicing and further processing, or at least the process should be reversible.
With AJA CamXChange software on OS-X Yosemite via Thunderbolt Port (DCI 4K to 30fps), CineDNG format.With AJA CamXChange (or Possibly AJA Control Room - unconfirmed by owners) using AJA Io-4K in single or dual-link 3G-SDI (DCI 4K up to 60fps), or AJA Kona4 PCIe card to Raid Array (DCI 4K up to 120fps), all in CineDNG format.
With proprietary ArriRaw and HDMI or HD-SDI uncompressed video format.
- Z-Cam E2
- Z-Cam E2-M4
- Z-Cam E2-S6
- Z-Cam E2-F6
- Z-Cam E2-F8
Blackmagic has its own raw video format, BRAW.
- Blackmagic Cinema Camera
- Blackmagic Production Camera 4K
- Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera
- Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
- Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
- Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera (in sRAW reported as Lossy raw)
- Blackmagic URSA
- Blackmagic URSA Mini (and variants such as pro, 4.6k, 12k)
Unofficially, with the use of Magic Lantern software, the following EOS cameras can record RAW video in the software's MLV format:
- Dalsa Origin 1&2, Company was acquired by Arriflex
- KineRAW-S35, [16] records in both CineForm and CinemaDNG.
- KineRAW-MINI,[17] internally records CinemaDNG but can also externally output CineForm.
- KineMINI 4K, [18] internally records lossless KineRAW (.krw) codec as well as CineForm.
- KineMAX 6K, [19] internally records lossless KineRAW (.krw) codec as well as CineForm.
- TERRA 6K, [20] internally records lossless KineRAW (.krw) codec.
- TERRA 4K, [21] with firmware updated to KineOS 6.11 TERRA 4K can record with open format CinemaDNG.

- MAVO LF, [23] reported to have both internal recording with the lossless KineRAW (.krw) codec as well as CinemaDNG.
With proprietary REDCODE raw format with lossy compression for video. REDCODE performs a reversible demosaicing prior to compression.
- RED ONE
- RED EPIC
- RED Scarlet-X
- Sony F65
- Sony F55 (with adapter)
- Sony F5 (with adapter)
- Sony NXCAM NEX-FS700 / Sony NXCAM NEX-FS700R, with firmware 3 plus AXS-R5 or HXR-IFR5 or Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q(+)
- Sony VENICE, with some resolutions requiring an AXS-R7 external recorder
- Sony XDCAM PXW-FS7, with XDCA-FS7 plus AXS-R5 or HXR-IFR5 or external recorder (4K/2K raw recording)
Uncompressed video output via HDMI
The below lists cameras with uncompressed video output. Processing has been done to convert the sensor response into a series of RGB images, but no video codec has applied any compression yet.
Other
Some Nikon Coolpix cameras which are not advertised as supporting a RAW image format can actually produce usable raw files if switched to a maintenance mode.[24] Note that switching to this mode can invalidate a camera's guarantee. Nikon models with this capability:
E700, E800, E880, E900, E950, E990, E995, E2100, E2500, E3700, E4300, E4500.
Some Canon PowerShot cameras with DiGiC II and certain DiGiC III image processors which are not advertised as supporting a RAW format can actually produce usable raw files with an unofficial open-source firmware add-on by some users.[25]
The Nokia N900 mobile phone has an add on app "Fcam", which allows capture and saving of RAW files in Adobe's DNG format (along with other advanced features usually found in DSLRs).In 2013, Nokia launched Nokia Lumia 1520 and Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphones with DNG RAW format.[26]
Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Note 7, Galaxy S6 Edge+, S7 and S7 Edge also support RAW image capture. Not to mention LG G4, LG G5, iPhone 6s (Plus), iPhone SE, iPhone 7 (Plus) iPad Pro and some other modern phones - OnePlus One, OnePlus Two, OnePlus 3(T), etc.
