Adobe proposes new digital image format
With every digital camera maker using their own version of the so-called “raw” format to appease high-end
photographers, Adobe is proposing that its new Digitial Negative
Specification (DNG) is the wave of the future.
To convince you, they’ve even made a free converter available for both Mac and Windows, which will translate many
popular camera’s raw formats into Adobe’s DNG format.
I’m no Ansel Adams, so it’s hard for me to get personally excited by this. But I can see where this would be a Good
ThingTM

adobe alone to make a "standard"? i've read some of their whitepaper pdfs. i seems that the only originator of this "standard" is adobe. adobe can then take full advantage of this standard, when it is popular. why there is no neutral org involved?

It's not as much an issue with RAW files from one brand to the next, but each new model of the same camera always has a new version of the RAW file so that you need to download or wait to get an update for Photoshop to convert them. It's a pain in the butt.
