Jeffism:
Wow, the difference is much greater than I expected. The details on the stick of RAM and the colours of the cables :o
gyppor:
Wow, that's dramatic. Really dramatic. I've never shot raw before but I'm going to take the plunge, 100%.
patrickrebstock:

This is going to help a lot when lighting conditions are not as good as we'd like them to be.
I've done a couple of quick tests and this is the workflow I've used for them as it may help you if you want to try recording in RAW mode.
1. Generate .raw file as David outlines above
2. In Adobe Bridge, open the first .DNG file as a Camera Raw file and tweak exposure, sharpness, colour etc. As the DNG is a raw file format you can do a lot here to improve the overall look and quality of each frame
3. Apply changes to all the DNG files and save them. I save them as .JPGs for the next step
4. In Photoshop, Open As... Image sequence and pull in all the JPGs
5. Export... Render Video and save whatever video format and quality you want to use. I've used Adobe H264 max. quality for these test.
The light was really dull when I took these, so the processed RAW version does have quite a lot of noise, but it's a massive improvement from the original and a much better result than I achieved tweaking the brightness, contrast and colour in my edit software.
Here's an original untouched frame from the Chronos H264 version of the clip I saved:
Here's a frame from the final video I rendered from PS:
