you can try yourself with any non DNG raw file - if you find a difference between rendering from it and from DNG (non lossy) saved from it first with ACR/LR that you are using - congratulations, you have a bug - please file a bug report with Adobe  :)

OK I understanding what you are stating now "the rendering of the DNG file is the same as the rendering of a an original Raw file". I am not disputing that, what I am suggesting is , Adobe should only allow the "Copy as DNG" option when importing raw files into Lightroom.

On one hand, that would certain be "putting their money where their mouth is." On the other hand, I'd bet 75% of their customers would stop using Lightroom immediately if that were the case.

For all the doom and gloom about "proprietary camera raw formats," I for one will use them and not DNG, unless the camera itself produces DNG files (as my M9 does).

DNG is an free and open format that Adobe hoped all camera manufacturers would adopt to prevent the pointless proliferation of 'new' raw formats that only inconvenience camera buyers without actually providing additional benefits.
Converting to DNG is a different thing again aimed more IIRC for legacy benefits. Software in the future not being able to read formats from cameras that disappeared long before the software was invented for example. Not a bad idea in many ways as generic formats like DNG/JPEG will stand the rest of time far better than proprietary ones.

if you like the color rendering from raw converter manufacturer you still have to wait for it... and then with no changes in the format itself it is the issue with software that intentionally blocks you work with a raw file, not with the format itself... just like Adobe software blocks opening a raw from a new camera in native non DNG raw format when there is absolutely no changes in the tags that it is using... that way they create an impression for some uneducated users about the "major benefit of DNG".
That is paranoid tinfoil hat nonsense.

Quote "DNG is an free and open format that Adobe hoped all camera manufacturers would adopt to prevent the pointless proliferation of 'new' raw formats that only inconvenience camera buyers without actually providing additional benefits."
It has been over ten years Adobe has been advocating that camera manufacturers adopt this concept without much success. Digital cameras are still in a stage of rapid development, every few months new sensors and software for the rendering the raw data from them come to the market. The camera manufacturers know this and each one uses it to try and leapfrog other competitors, they do not wish to be tied to some file standard that may hamper them in further development of their products. Just my opinion as to why it has not happened.

Check out this history list of minimum ACR requirement / camera RAW support ,
https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
compare that change log to the Capture One archive.
https://www.phaseone.com/en/Downloads/Materials/Software-Archive/COReleaseNotes.aspx

Then tell me what the additional tags were in each new CaNikon cam introduction that necessitated an ACR version upgrade.

It may not have been to steer you to DNG, but it certainly seems designed to keep you firmly on the Adobe upgrade bandwagon. Not quite 'paranoid tinfoil hat nonsense' , as you put it.

DCRAW is available on Mac, DOS/Windows, UNIX, and has been ported to Amiga, MorphOS, BeOS, OS/2, and RISC OS,  supports native Camera Raws, and also converts some Sigma Foveon formats.

Despite the FUD from DNG fanboys, there is no significant legacy risk or legacy benefits for DNG in particular, because there have been alternatives for most cameras for a long time before DNG was introduced already. There is also the LibRAW library which is based on DCRAW and apparently fixes some issues, and can be integrated in all sorts of software.

For those who are too lazy to search for themselves, here is a list of cameras that DCRAW supports as of this writing:

Despite the FUD from DNG fanboys, there is no significant legacy risk or legacy benefits for DNG in particular, because there have been alternatives for most cameras for a long time before DNG was introduced already. There is also the LibRAW library which is based on DCRAW and apparently fixes some issues, and can be integrated in all sorts of software.
Not a DNG fanboi as it happens and the FUD comes from the other side if anything. What do you mean by alternatives for cameras? Other software? As you should know, all software or software companies can vanish leaving you high and dry.

Lots of irrelevant nonsense being posted here which is not germane to a simple question about whether C1 will support more cameras than the limited range it previously did and in particular ones with DNG output, which should not even need an update to be used.

Quote "DNG is an free and open format that Adobe hoped all camera manufacturers would adopt to prevent the pointless proliferation of 'new' raw formats that only inconvenience camera buyers without actually providing additional benefits."
It has been over ten years Adobe has been advocating that camera manufacturers adopt this concept without much success. Digital cameras are still in a stage of rapid development, every few months new sensors and software for the rendering the raw data from them come to the market. The camera manufacturers know this and each one uses it to try and leapfrog other competitors, they do not wish to be tied to some file standard that may hamper them in further development of their products. Just my opinion as to why it has not happened.
Not the case as the supposedly 'new' file formats have not added anything. Often it's just the name of the camera in the file that changes and breaks compatibility. Sensors getting better does not necessarily mean the files they have to get stored in need to change.
It's just some image data being stored at end of the day in a container. If however it was a completely different kind of image altogether like say in Lightfield cameras, then yes you may have a point, but the same sensor in a bunch of cameras all needing different raw file formats or a camera gets a cosmetic update and software now needs to be updated.....
You get the same mess in video where the same kind of file gets a new wrapper for no real reason and suddenly becomes unusable in software.

For those who are too lazy to search for themselves, here is a list of cameras that DCRAW supports as of this writing ...

Bart,
I think you missed one out ..  ;)

Best,

That is paranoid tinfoil hat nonsense.

you are referring to this statement = "just like Adobe software blocks opening a raw from a new camera in native non DNG raw format when there is absolutely no changes in the tags that it is using... that way they create an impression for some uneducated users about the "major benefit of DNG"."

1) do you dispute that if only the camera model inside was changed (format is intact, all tags have the same meanings) then Adobe will not open the raw in non DNG format ?

2) do you dispute that Adobe itself proclaim that this is not going to happen with DNG format ? which is claimed as a major benefit by Adobe (not the only one mind you )

Exactly.

No, it doesn't break compatibility - the file, more often than not, is still the same. It's some software houses (cough, cough .. Adobe) who so design their software.

Check out this history list of minimum ACR requirement / camera RAW support ,
https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
compare that change log to the Capture One archive.
https://www.phaseone.com/en/Downloads/Materials/Software-Archive/COReleaseNotes.aspx

Then tell me what the additional tags were in each new CaNikon cam introduction that necessitated an ACR version upgrade.

It may not have been to steer you to DNG, but it certainly seems designed to keep you firmly on the Adobe upgrade bandwagon. Not quite 'paranoid tinfoil hat nonsense' , as you put it.
No idea quite what point you are making with those two links. I can see less camera supported on the not quite as hard to find list as previously was the case with C1. Though finally my pocket camera that I stopped using a year or so back, has finally been added with the latest update, so well done Phase how long did that take you? But still no Pentax 645s are far as I could see and not quite supporting the recent Canon's yet which are also edging close to competition for Phase cameras.

I've heard Adobe engineers/Product Managers complain that they can't simply support new cameras because manufacturers keep breaking compatibility and it is sometimes no more than the camera name and they find it very frustrating.
Yet for some unknown reason the camera manufacturers never get blamed for new file formats that Lightroom or whatever cannot support as camera that was released a while after  the software was released, it's always Adobe's fault. You see this time and time again in forums/online. It gets Adobe a lot of unwarranted bad press and it is not in their interest to garner such dislike. They make zero money from DNG by the way, it's a solution for all camera developing software to be able to support cameras as soon as they are released.

Have people also forgotten that camera companies rather stupidly may not want to let Adobe software deal with their output. Nikon a few years back tried to cripple their raw files so that only Nikon software could deal with them properly . Not free Nikon software either. Or anywhere near being good.
Nikon had to backtrack very rapidly as many people would rather change to Canon or whoever rather than drop Photoshop/Lightroom/C1 etc.

So true! I don't know how people can ignore the facts and are unable place the blame where it belongs. Then you'll hear nonsense about how DNG is a way for Adobe to make more money, it's no good as it's not a 'standard' etc, etc. If native camera raw files were as equally accessible as say the JPEG the same camera creates from the raw, I suspect Adobe would never have needed to consider creating DNG.

No, it doesn't break compatibility - the file, more often than not, is still the same. It's some software houses (cough, cough .. Adobe) who so design their software.
So what software can open a new camera's  'new' file format without an update?
As I said above it is against any software company's interest to delay support for a new camera. IF C1 supports Model X and LR does not or vice versa guess what software the new camera purchaser is going to try out whilst waiting for an update? The one that works. Then if they prefer the alternative software, you've lost a customer.

So do you know how to parse and open Raw files then? Just because it may only be a camera name change, doesn't mean it's a simple solution.
Just like only changing part of a software or physical key stops it from opening whatever it is meant to. Regardless of whether how minor the change.

Don't forget these files need to be reverse engineered to open.

Why would I dispute that? I specifically said it was a problem and explained above why it is necessarily not a trivial issue and not in Adobe's interest o pretend to delay.

That's a very awkwardly worded sentence, not really sure what you mean.
However DNG files from new cameras open straight away in LR/ACR and other software without updates, the exception has always been C1. Some of the reason seem political as serious and much cheaper camera rivals like Pentax use DNG.

Another thing for those who are paranoid about the purpose of DNG.
Adobe made a free DNG convertor, so you can continue to use older software with newer cameras.
So rather than having to update to the newest version of PS/LR [or any other DNG supporting software] whenever you buy a newer camera, you can carry on using your old software as long as you want. Once files are converted to DNG. Obviously you get some new cameras added during point releases, but if you buy a camera which is only added to a later full version, that you do not own, it's very handy tool

Now is that is behaviour that should be applauded, particularly when companies on the whole like to force you to upgrade computers/software because they break compatibility.
However I'm not so sure the Adobe of today would introduce such a piece of software. They also used to have an exceptionally good upgrade policy of from three prior versions, which got dropped to one and then replaced not long after with CC.

yes, free, closed source DNG converter... ACR or LR can also be used - including trial versions - to convert to DNG, so ?

or Adobe can simply allow to use formats w/o blocking it based on model name... with the same results.
