It is very attractive for smaller companies like Leica to implement rather than develop their own unique proprietary Raw format. It also has a number of advantages. As Frank D noted, if you capture as JPG, you cannot restore the information lost in the JPG process. You can convert other Raw formats to DNG on import or in a standalone conversion. There are options there. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 30 April 2010 04:36, Vince Passaro <passaro.vince at gmail.com> wrote: > When you say you shot "DNG" does that mean raw?
