With my D, I almost phased out JPEGs in favor of PEF's. That was a very slow and not fully completed process, as such large files were still quite a problem for me. With the K10D and its compressed RAW's, together with an ever-decreasing cost for storage, not to speak of its so-so reliability about exposure, I decided that shooting RAW is a must.
That said, I use PEF because the files are smaller (handy, especially for storing thousands and thousands of raw pictures on hard disks) and because compressing DNG files via Adobe DNG converter strips away (or probably just hides) exif data. Since all main converters are now updated for recognizing K10D PEF's, I find no real reason for sticking to DNG. Dario ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maris V.
