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.

AJA

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
