[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 753513, member: 10742"] A could of things about using DNG files as opposed to RAW files. DNG is Adobe's open source raw file format... It traditionally is smaller because it contains less of your camera makers proprietary data... It also is NOT, wholly non-destructive... Be sure to test whichever software YOU use as to whether it treats DNG as a non-destructive file format. The same with your Backup software... DNG files does things with it's create/modify time-stamps that are a bit different leading some Backup software to think that the file has been changed, when in fact, it has not. THAT could lead to massive, unnecessary backups... DNGs are good... just be sure to test and understand what's happening in the background... [/QUOTE]
