Nikon vs. Canon

2005-08-23 by Craig Snyder

I have not been reading the postings here on these cameras that closely 
because they don't interest me right now but something just popped into my 
head -- and maybe no one has mentioned it.  

I recall reading several months ago that Nikon has moved into a propreitary 
RAW format. Generally being out of the news I don't know if that's changed or 
what has happened since. But this item seems to throw a spanner into the 
works of a universal standard for the RAW format. How many pieces of 
software do we need on our computers afterall? Though I generally detest 
"one size fits all" sometimes it is a blessing and the ideal.

Something to take into consideration when buying a brand.
