Dear Richard
I have lived long enough to have seen formats come and go. The instamatic cartridge and the Kodak disk are just two. I am also glad not to have to deal with 5 part .dcs files anymore.
The only thing that interests me is the 'quality' of the file. If the .DNG is going to mean that C1 fails and we are left with PS ACR then I am looking at a drop in quality. Until I see a proper review of a DNG file processed in C1 to the same standard as before I am not convinced. The compression worries me. As the saying goes; If its too good to be true it is too good to be true. The 1ds already compresses RAW files to a very manageable size.
The worries about obsolesence are what are called 'Baroque Worries'. In other words they are not real until they happen. With the introduction of OSX we are looking at a period of OS stability not seen since DOS, an OS I still use on a daily basis.
