I'm talking about before de-bayering which is what the camera records to RAW in, either red, green or blue values.I think you've got that wrong. The Canon DSLR record the uncompressed bayer data from the sensor which has a color depth of 14 bit per pixel. Since it's bayer data, you get 50% green, 25% red and 25% blue pixels and each of them has a value of 0 to 16383, even before the debayering. That's also the reason why a raw video with a reslution of 1728 X 972 at 24 frames per second wouldn't be 40 Megabyte/s but 70 Megabyte/s.
