| Feb 24, 2017 at 6:01 | comment | added | Alaska Man | Help me understand the terminology being used here. in particular the word SUPPORT. My understanding is that cameras do not support DNG files, they create their own proprietary raw file that is then converted to a DNG file once the file has been exported out of the camera. So a better wording of question would be , Which camera RAW formats have the ability to be converted to DNG files in post. | |

| Sep 5, 2015 at 11:10 | comment | added | szulat | there is no such thing as "native file format" for a sensor, sensors do not create files, there is no reason for DNG to be less native than any other format. | |
| Aug 10, 2013 at 11:48 | comment | added | Olin Lathrop | Why do you care which camaras use Adobe's particular format? As long as the raw format of a camera is documented enough so you can extract the raw data, it doesn't matter since you can convert from that to any other format. Adobe hype aside, there is very little advantage to a camera using DNG as their raw format. For example, my Nikon uses a modified TIF format for the raw data that they call a NEF file. This has not been a problem. | |
| Oct 8, 2011 at 12:37 | comment | added | jwenting | it's still not a native format, the sensor output is at the very least "normalised" to whatever Adobe has decided is "normal" in order for the DNG processing software to be able to read it. | |
| Oct 7, 2011 at 18:48 | comment | added | mattdm | Some of the above is not true. DNG is not like JPEG. It is a container format for recording the direct output of the sensor. | |
| Jul 2, 2011 at 13:51 | comment | added | jwenting | @labnut a true RAW format records the direct output of the sensor. DNG doesn't do that. It's no different than using JPEG for storage, except that it (afaik) uses lossless compression. | |
| Jul 1, 2011 at 14:16 | comment | added | Itai | @labnut - I did not know better at the time, but I have found people showing that Pentax PEF and DNG differ. If you Google, it will lead to some forums where differences are discussed. I have not verified any claims though. | |

| Jun 20, 2011 at 20:02 | comment | added | Billy ONeal | @labnut: Except DNG does not account for the specifics of a given camera. If a camera has a slightly different bayer sensor array it's going to not work well with DNG. | |

| Jan 25, 2011 at 19:13 | comment | added | labnut | I think DNG is a true RAW format. In the case of Pentax, at least, it faithfully records all the raw, untransformed data from the sensor and camera. There is no loss or compromise. | |

| Jul 18, 2010 at 1:47 | comment | added | Reid | What's with the downvote? This is a perfectly legitimate question. +1. | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 1:47 | comment | added | jrista | Not really sure this is a relevant topic. I would reword it to be more of a question, rather than a statement. Also, given that DNG is not a true RAW format, its viability as a "raw" format in cameras is kind of moot. | |
