You can convert PEF to DNG after the fact, if that ever happens.

Hi Fernando,
Don't you need then SW that understands PEF (of the specific camera)???'

Hi Jos,
You have that with Pentax converter, and probably some other from
Adobe. You will probably always have some piece of software available
from Pentax to do this.
My problem with DNG is that my prefered raw converter (Capture One)
doesn't work with it, DNG files are larger, I don't care for

Also, for the record, Bibble doesn't either.

Does the RAW format affect the RAW buffer?
I.e. are you able to shoot more with PEF than DNG before the buffer fills
up?
On a related note regarding shooting RAW, someone in dpreview has shown
that RAW output, contrary to my belief, is actually affected by the white
balance settings.
I would need to know a lot more about the test procedures to
understand what these histograms were representing, never mind their
interpretations.

I just did a couple of quick tests with PEF files generated by my
*istDS.
The PEF files are approx 10Mb in size.
Converting them to DNG (converter v2.4), with loseless comprerssion,
reduces that to approx 6Mb.
Converting them to PEF, but embedding the PEF, increases the size to
approx 16Mb.
FW Is the loss of some metadata worth a 40% reduction in storage costs ?

Ahhh, thanks John, Godfrey. I'd not DL'd the new version of DNG. Got it
now.

So what is the final verdict on DNG vs PEF ? What do I lose by converting PEF
to DNG ? Do I lose any picture information or just
metadata, like which lens was used and other things I don't really need. I

difference. If I have to keep PEF-s

As far as I know, you lose only metadata. I convert some of my less valuable
pics to DNG for backup archiving. The really critical ones are saved as PEF.

It's a preference in the DNG Converter v2.4 application. Just check it
and it will embed the original PEF file into the DNG output. There is,
as you would expect, an Extract command as well to pull out the
original PEF files.

It wasn't in the beta test - just in the release.

you cannot convert a
DNG to a PEF (unless you've embedded the PEF
into the DNG, which loses the file-size savings).
Just to see how well it would work I Zipped 30 DS .pef files.
I got a compression of 16%. Not that much but you might get more with D files.
Can also be a handy way to keep groups of files together.
