Reception
The reaction to DNG has been mixed. A few camera manufacturers stated their intention to use DNG at launch. The first supported DNG about 9 months after launch. Several more niche and minority camera manufacturers added support after this. The largest camera manufacturers have apparently never indicated an intention to use DNG.
A few software products supported DNG within 5 months of launch. Many more added support after this. A few software products only support DNG from cameras that write DNG, and/or from cameras that they support via their native raw image formats.
OpenRAW was an advocacy and lobby group with the motto "Digital Image Preservation Through Open Documentation". They became opposed to DNG.
