I'm not pleased that Pentax botched up the RAW file compression but I do employ DVD for archiving which makes it far less painful. As a side benefit, media is less costly per MB storage, it's faster to write/verify, disc usage is cut by a factor of approximately 7:1 and storage space is reduced. I think you'd appreciate a DVD recorder as you next enablement. Leave DNG alone for the moment, it's still in its developmental stage really, it's only going to become truly relevant when the first digicam saves RAW files as native DNG.
