Yesterday I setup in the studio some test scenes to make a direct comparison between BRAW and DNG.
Setup:
URSA Mini Pro Gen 1 / Sigma Cine 18-35mm T2.0 / Angelbird 256GB Cfast2.0 card
Firmware 6.0
Codecs: DNG lossless / BRAW Q0 / ProRes HQ / 4608 x 2592 px
Subjects lit by a Dedo DLED7-D with softbox, bounced into a Sunbouncer silver reflector.
For white balancing the X-Rite Colorchecker Video target was used.
Bluetooth+ App was used to switch between codecs and to start/stop recording to avoid any misalignment of the framing or focus between each recording.
I've imported then the files into Resolve 15.3.1 and just applied the Omeneo Primers EQX 04 Punch LUT, then created and exported a TIFF still of each shot. LUT is a technical LUT.

While with BRAW there is definitely a slight loss of sharpness and details compared to DNG it can only be seen when enlarged to 200% or more.
One scene contained 10/20/50 Euro banknotes, which are a nice test subject because of having a lot of very fine print details. I have also shot a macro of a part of the 20 Euro banknote so you can see how the details really look like. I've tried to align the macro shot over the non-macro shots as good as possible.
These are 300% enlargements done in AFX with bicubic interpolation. The macro shot of course is not enlarged.
