The only difference between DNG and PEF from your perspective is the
file extension, and the fact that your version of ELEMENTS can open the
K-5 version, other than that nothing. The K20D and earlier cameras
exported DNG files that were 30-40% larger than PEF files, that's the
only reason I've stuck with shooting PEFs.

so from a practical aspect, what is the difference if when I output
from elements I'd be making are 300 ppi jpgs ? or pngs?
I have no experience at all with DNGS... anyone want to school me
briefly?

Quoting Ann Sanfedele <ann...@nyc.rr.com>:
full disclosure time,
I only have ELEMENTS 5.0 and it happily allows me to open PEF's and
it does pretty much all I've asked it to do so I don't plan on
changing what I'll be processing with. Many of you know I'm running
Windoze XP on a dell dimension that is about 7 years old. All my
photos go on the 1 terrabit external drive. Just an fyi if that
affects anything, changes any advice - etc.
Not wishing to throw a spanner into the works but does Elements 5
support PEFs from the K5? I could be wrong (hopefully) but the ACR
plugin for Elements 5 might not. If so, you may have to use DNGs.
