The Real Reason RAW Camera Formats Are All Different and Confusing

Camera RAW formats vary by brand, causing confusion and compatibility issues. While a universal open-source format (DNG) exists, many major manufacturers continue using proprietary formats (e.g., Canon's CR3, Nikon's NEF). Reasons for sticking with proprietary formats include optimization benefits and control over image quality. Smaller brands occasionally adopt DNG for broader software support. This lack of standardization leads to challenges for photographers, especially early adopters, who rely on compatible editing software.
