A benefit of capturing RAW into DNG format rather PEF format is that, if the DNG is properly formed, you can use any RAW converter which is capable of reading DNGs properly rather than having to wait for RAW conversion utilities to be updated in order to read the K10D's PEF files.
This excludes Apple's Aperture and iPhoto at the present time, since they do not implement the full DNG specification and can only read DNGs produced by cameras that they already understand the native RAW format for. But, for example, it means that Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter should be able to process K10D RAW files immediately without waiting for an update. As can Silkypix, RAW Developer, and other DNG sensible RAW converters.
