[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 96284, member: 9521"] Following on the theme of EXIF data, the reason I convert to DNG is to insure the saving of the EXIF data. NEF files do not incorporate the EXIF data within the actual NEF files, they exist as a "side-car" file. How many times have you read people coming to a photography board asking for help because they can't find the EXIF data? The reason is that the side-car files can easily be separated from the parent NEF file. Converting to a DNG file results in an all encompassing digital file complete with the EXIF data. And I agree that in a perfect world digital camera manufactures should adopt a universal file system to avoid any of the issues that having multiple file forms present. [/QUOTE]
