Do you CRAW or RAW for cameras with the choice?

I use RAW exclusively. But that may have to do with the fact that my cameras have 20 and 26 megapixel sensors. I don't think it's necessary to use CRAW. Perhaps I would switch to CRAW if I owned the R5 (so higher number of megapixels on the sensor)

Just RAW, and I currently shoot on an R5. I just personally had a lot of issues with the speed of opening and editing the CRAW format in Lightroom on my machine. I know others reported they didn't but that was my experience. And I'd say a small bit of it is I paid all this money for this camera/sensor, may as well get all I can from it, perceptible or not.

I’m mostly cRAW, but for things in very low light I switch to RAW. I can see a noticeable difference with deepPRIME variants between cRAW and regular RAW.
But that’s the only instance where I can notice it.
On the R8 cRAW doubles the anemic buffer, making it a much more practical camera.

Never used anything else than RAW with my Canons.
But I use "DNG compressed" with my Leica M (according to Leica's official statement fully lossless). Whether true or not, I don't know...
What I know is that Leica offers the choice between "lossy" and "lossless" DNG compression, saying that old software editors could be in trouble with "lossless" compression.

On the M50 I used cRAW to get more shots in a burst. The R5 has a much better sized buffer.

Shoot Canon and only use Craw now on the R6. RAW on the 7d2. The quality of the r6 files is outstanding in craw including shooting aurora and milky way.

I don't currently have any cameras capable of shooting C-RAW. If I did I would shoot C-RAW most of the time except when in very low light.

I shoot only raw. With CR3 file sizes are (much) smaller than CR2, where files of 80 to 100+ MB from the 5Ds R where no exception.
