If I had known then what I know now, I'd have been shooting RAW from the
get-go. But I didn't, so I didn't.
I don't blame him for it. I think he gave what he believed was good advice
based on what he knew at the time.

A sad misunderstanding from the early days of digital. TIFF in camera

You can never return an RGB format to mosaiced raw data, but you can
encapsulate it in DNG. It does benefit from some standardization, but
little else.

Herb Keppler (I think it was him) did a review of the *ist-D and he
said that since the camera offered TIFF as one of the image

likely to be around for a long time and the various camera RAW
formats probably not so much.
I don't know if you can convert them, but I think the DNG file
will encapsulate them.
