OpenRAW

I would love to upgrade from my Nikon D-100 -- but there is no way I will drop a dime on a new Nikon until I'm assured that I have access 100% of the RAW data contained in MY photographs regardless of what software I choose to read the files.

I applaude Adobe for introduction of the .dng format, and strongly suggest that camera manufacturers quickly embrace this or some other universal raw format.
