I started out with DNG because Camera Raw couldn't work with K10D PEFs at the time. I've stayed with DNG mostly out of habit. I archive everything I shoot as compressed DNG so I have to convert my in-camera uncompressed DNGs to compressed ones, but I'd have to convert if I shot PEF, so it's "six of one, half a dozen of the other" in that regard. Given the low cost of memory cards these days, the file size difference doesn't bother me. Godfrey has suggested that the camera saves files to the card slightly more quickly in (uncompressed) DNG format. I haven't compared myself but it sounds reasonable. I'll be sticking to DNG for the foreseeable future. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
