You might consider asking Nikon why, every time they release a new camera, they insist (like others) on producing a proprietary raw that hardly differs at all from the last and requires ALL 3rd party converters and their customers to wait on getting a raw to 'hack' and update their software. It cost them time and money, and you too; for ZERO reason.

The JPEG in your new camera is accessible from day one; it isn't a proprietary format like that new NEF. Nikon could do the same (as could Canon and others), they play this silly game after every release of a new cameras.

This fact is what is really sad; camera companies providing you a camera, then holding your raw data hostage, for awhile.
