I wanted to know which setting you use for raw. "NEF" or "Comp.NEF"

I know the "NEF" setting saves a lot faster but is a larger file size.

According to the manual, "Comp.NEF" images are compressed using a virtually "lossless" algorithm that reduces files size by approximately fifty to sixty percent without affecting image quality. More time is required to process images before they art saved to the memory card.

I did a test with both settings and the files sizes are the same "about 9 megs" although the "Comp.NEF" setting took about 15 seconds to save to the memory card.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
