If so, that's not correct. They are simply a container holding the RAW data from the camera sensor in a nonproprietary, open architecture file "envelope". Converting to DNG on import to Lightroom (my preferred software) doesn't seem to take very long, so I don't see time as an issue. Seems like Adobe/Apple support for manufacturers' format often lags behind the cameras' release a bit; and the RAW software that most camera makers supply with their cameras is so awful it's not worth opening the disk in the box to install it.<br /><br />I've made the decision, therefore, that for my own work, DNG is the way to go, recognizing the pros (many) and cons (few) of my approach. Like you, I don't care about hard-drive space, since you can get a terabyte drive for not much these days.Michael Sebastianhttp://www.michaelsebastian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322338.post-19135253722599705362011-05-21T23:36:54.444-04:002011-05-21T23:36:54.444-04:00Hi Brandon,

You like DNG, I could care less, it's a waste of time, IMO. It's like RAW vs. Jpeg--everyone has an opinion, no right, no wrong, no one holding a gun to your head to use one or other. From your tone, you need to back it off, turn down the volume, go out and shoot some more pix instead of worrying about hard drive space.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322338.post-68691813005085408212011-05-21T14:14:49.642-04:002011-05-21T14:14:49.642-04:00You say that you are "making the assumption t...You say that you are "making the assumption that storage space is not an issue." But it is an issue, and the more pictures you take the bigger an issue it is. DNG files are half the size of Fuji raw files, and a factor of two is nothing to sneeze about.<br /><br />Also, some photo viewing programs, such as Picasa, cannot display Fuji raw files but can display DNG files just fine.arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246896789315209359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322338.post-80394589893411290442011-05-21T14:12:45.069-04:002011-05-21T14:12:45.069-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246896789315209359noreply@blogger.com
