So, would it better to save the RAW file in Adobe's DNG format for archival reasons (as I believe the DNG format is expected to be adopted by all the major camera manufacturers in the near future and catered for by Adobe)?
I hope you're right but the signs are not good. At the moment there seem to be lots more applications that can read Canon and/or Nikon proprietary raw formats than DNG.
However I don't see the point of converting and keeping both - except as a backup, just as you would, I hope, keep at least two copies of either the raw or DNG file in case of storage medium failure.
Thanks for the replies guys. I agree, I don't think there would be any point in keeping both types which is why i was wondering how many people actually save as DNG and delete the RAW. If I just keep my RAW files then hopefully, if RAW is no longer, I will have time to convert them to DNG, XYZ or whatever!
