If you are not forcing a rendering, there will
be no generation losses...

No change, if no rendering - but there will be
slight changes with 10-generations of rendering
with the excellent Canopus codec (less than with
most - for what 10-generations of rendering with
this codec look like, see:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/original_vs_10th-gen.htm).
