W sprawie kompresji NEF-a:
Tutaj wątek z DPreview

Czyli:
compression does nothing to shadows. first 217 levels are not compressed.
the rest of 3880 levels are compressed into 466. it makes little difference if little postprocessing is required because demosaicing introduces blur and missing levels are "filled". It starts to make difference when trying to recover highlights.
Czyli utrata szczegółów wszędzie poza cieniami.
