I haven't convinced myself that DNG is a viable conversion choice for my Nikon D90 NEF files. But this is not intended to be a debate on that issue. PLEASE! Don't make it that, because my mind is made up and until something changes my workflow will remain the same. But I have a question about bit depth. I created DNG copies of some of my files and compared them using Bridge CS 5. Bridge indicates that my original files are 16 bit, but I know the camera takes 12 bit files. Bridge also indicates that DNG files are 10 bit. Is that really true? And, if so, is data being lost in the conversion?
