No, that would be 100% "greater". :) What you mean is 200% "as great as"
the original.
Sorry to be pedantic, but this subtle difference leads to many gross
exaggerations that I come across all the time. :P

DNG Converter is absolutely free. And frankly, I am thankful we have DNG
because in 20 years, who knows what software will be around to read RAWs
for camera X of maker Y (who has long gone out of business)? A common
standard increases the chances of continued media access a lot.

If you favor OSS, Digikam's DNGConverter is available, apart from
Linux/BSD on OS X and Windows too.

These numbers sound reasonable. Size improvements depend a lot on the
picture (noise, camera model, etc.). So you mileage would differ from my
friend's.

Again, this is all OT since the OP asked about a solution for Panasonic
RAWs. And size was not an issue anyway, it was purely about being able
to open their RAWs in DT.

I think we can stop here. :)
