Agreed. Why change from one proprietary format to another?
One only has to look to the news of this past week of Adobe abandoning
Aperture to realize that trusting in any company to keep your data viable is
dangerous. For the most part, every general purpose converter will open a
camera raw file of any brand and model. Even ACR. The only time DNG is
important is if you are dealing with a brand new camera that ACR doesn't
convert yet, but even at that, you're talking about early-adopter issues,
not general rules.
Other than Adobe, can you name any other converter that supports DNG but not
the original files? Who else does conversions to DNG? DNG is absolutely as
proprietary as they come and has less support than just about any other
format.
I have no issues with Leica and others that use DNG as native format, but
that's a different story.
