Thanks, Jan.

Your information is quite valuable for me.
One thing, however, that is a pity is the fact that the P-4000 only
supports 2Gb SD cards. I guess I have to stick to the 2 Gb cards unless
there is a new firmware, which I doubt now from your information from
Epson at Photokina (there is always the solution of a CF to SD adapter).

Good question, I have the P4000 too, and the K10 since a week or so.
Had not tried it yet, so did a quick test now ...

 - RAW DNG: Not recognized/displayed
 - RAW PEF: Displays fine (extracts the embedded JPG)
 - JPG: Displays fine :-)

Of course the DNG files are stored fine, you just can't review them ...

Note that with JPG you can zoom in upto full resolution,
with the PEF, that is NOT possible (640x480 limit)!

Could be a good reason to save RAW+JPG :-)


Note:
At Photokina they showed the P5000 that has DNG support.
I asked if there would be a firmware update for the P4000
to allow that too, and the answer was 'unlikely' :-(

Regards, JvW
