There is nothing really special about DNG other than the fact that it is not specific to a camera manufacturer. If the whole world decided that Canon\'s CR2 format was going to become the standard, that would work just as well. That is pretty unlikely however.
What the industry lacks is some broadly accepted standard for RAW files. Any standard would do as long as it is universally accepted. The higher the level of acceptance, the more likely it is to be useful 100 years from now. JPG is the standard for images, but the inhernet limitation of JPG makes us want more.
