[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 495225, member: 9240"] I did this on Scott Kelby's recommendation early on and have since stopped for a couple reasons. First, as Scott Murray points out, the file size difference is minimal, and conversion adds considerably to the import times. Second, some photo contest sites require original RAW files when asking for verification of winning entries, and DNG constitutes a modification. So I have 3 years of photos that are ineligible for entries on these sites. Finally, there is no real "forward compatibility" advantage to the format. The only time I will now do this is when Adobe's DNG converter outpaces their update to ACR/LR on new camera RAW formats, and in these cases I keep the NEF files around and copy the LR edits from the DNG file to the NEF file once the new RAW format is integrated.
