The article is not talking about recording RAW camera files, but using the terminology "raw" as in describing the card prior to being prepared to use. Kinda like raw meat before it is prepared for consumption.

Ehere did you get this info? Any SD card can record RAW files, but they must be shot in the camera for RAW files or they won't happen.
And capitals or not makes no difference.

What a bunch of misinformation on this site! Windows 10 has not updated its codec! I have a 5 year old Canon and I can view my XCR.2 files in Windows Explorer just fine. My wife has a Canon DLS that is less than 2 years old and she cannot view her raw anon files (CR.2) because Windows no longer updates its codec program. The best suggestion I have is to view the 6D ii raw files (CR.2) in Canon's program. A link to this program is given with your camera information. Or, you can go to Canon's website, go to the 6Dii information and there will be a tab for several downloads. It is worth the effort to work with RAW. Best Regards. John O.

Yep, I know what you mean. There are no CR.2 files.
Is XCR2 new? I could find no reference to it anywhere.
(.CRW, .CR2, and .CR3 files exist though.)

My suggestion is, use the software that came with the camera. It lets you download your pictures and store them in a file. I use a Windows computer and the pictures end up in the picture folder that has the file with the date of shooting on it. If everything fails, read the instructions. Good luck and keep shooting.

Hopefully you are not having the similar problem I experienced with my first Canon camera, a 20D, which I bought to take to Antarctica. I was told the camera would capture both JPEG and RAW files, but I never found any RAW files. Turns out I misinterpreted the menu offering, and the camera was set to capture ONLY JPEGs. I had waited to the last minute to drop the money for the camera, and never had the time to “play” with it beforehand. Luckily, my brother, an excellent printmaker, turned a couple of those JPEGs into really nice prints. One is attached.

Hmmm, my Win10 Pro was unable to recognize my CR2 files. Until I installed UFRAW.
But using Canon's DPP, which came with my cameras, works fine though you do have to want to learn how it works (I still mostly use it to view files and convert to TIF format and edit those in GIMP). It even recalls where I was working last and will open to that folder (if it's present ie. not on a removable memory card which is not plugged in or has a different drive designation [drive F: last time but drive H: this time]).
