They're probably basically the same format, but each camera has its own
unique color "profile" that controls the conversion. It would be nice if you
could force it to use an existing camera's profile, when a new camera comes
out that the converter doesn't know about. We used to do that in the
original Adobe Camera Raw with the 10D, by hacking the file and changing
"D60" to "10D" with a hex editor. Perhaps you can do something like that
with the current ACR, as a temporary fix.

Hopefully, cameras will eventually provide the ability to write DNG files,
at least as an option, and this problem will go away once and for all.
