Now I'm just bragging! (D750)

All camera makers use proprietary RAW formats, That's why Adobe tried (and continues to try) to get everyone to use DNG, so that there is a single cross platform format

If you give a client a RAW image, he or she won't be able to see the edits you have performed of the image, unless you also include the XMP file for the RAW image. But if you save the image to DNG format, then the client can see the edits. The worst thing would be to have only DNG as the universal format.

Also, lets say one or more camera manufacturer abandons its RAW format for something else; in this case DNG can still be used to open and edit the abandoned RAW format. Another good thing about DNG is that the file is smaller that the RAW image, and also that the photo's metadata is embedded in the DNG file (you don't need the XMP file).

Oh. She said .raw, but Ive never used it.

your friend may be confusing the Canon menu showing RAW, but it's still a Canon Raw File (.cr2), the same thing.

@ JDDavis happy to see your enjoying the D750, hope to see some new stuff on your zenfolio from that camera.

it shows as RAW in the camera menu, but is actually as been said .cr2

It is a Canon RAW image format. Other than that, there are numerous "CR2" terms that have nothing to do with Canon

Thanks a bunch for the encouragement. I do really appreciate it. I need to get back in there and clean it up and add some newer stuff.
