[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 145326, member: 9521"] I do it mainly because of the metadata. Metadata exists as a "sidecar" file in the NEF format and because of that the metadata can easily be lost. However, when you convert to a DNG format the metadata is incorporated within the file itself and cannot be lost. Also, a DNG file takes up approximately 20% less space than an NEF file which can really add up with you're talking about 1000's of files. [/QUOTE]
