Hi, I'm far from an expert here, but some time ago a few list members and friends sent me numerous RAW files from the istD, a Nikon D70, a Canon (10D I think), and another Nikon (more grown up than the D70). I ran them all through the Adobe RAW converter and played with them, and I also ran the same images through the DNG converter. I couldn't see any difference. However, don't consider my comments to be indicative of a final verdict. Perhaps more like polling the jury <LOL>>

If I have to keep PEF-s then there is no reason to use DNG.
