With a PEF, Pentax are allowed to specify their own compression scheme. A compressed DNG must use the format that Adobe have specified. That's extra firmware Pentax would have to write (and, depending on the exact capabilities of the on-board processor, it may well also run noticeably slower than the PEF compression code). I'm just glad that Pentax decided to support in-camera DNG in any fashion. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
