I also make one backup to DNG of my Canon RAW files. The Canon files
don't get compressed much compared with Nikon or Olympus RAW files,
but I figure having one more losslessly compressed copy in another
format that might be more easily readable 20 years from now can't
hurt. I know most of my commercial photos will be uninteresting years
from now, but I want the family photos to survive, so that my kids
and grandkids can make the choice to dump them or not.
