      A few weeks to a few months. Lightroom typically releases an update quarterly. It depends upon the timing of the camera's release to the Adobe schedule.

      Normally there is a release candidate of the DNG converter tool a few weeks prior that gives you earlier access to your Raw files in Lightroom via DNG.

      Let me get this straight... if I purchase the D750, today, and take pictures, I can't import to Lightroom to edit the pictures?

        I have decided to do the following -

        I am going to shoot raw files on slot one, download the files while I travel to a backup remote hard drive and save the SD card originals. I will wait until I am home, and maybe until Adobe catches up with the D750, to import the raw files to LR5. I believe I have enough cards to keep the trip on cards.

        While traveling, I will reserve two cards to file JPEGs. at 32mb cards, that is about 400 shots per card. I will download each day and import into LR on my laptop, the JPEG files, and then reformat the cards and re-use them throughout the trip. I am not concerned about only having one copy of the JPEGs as I really want the raw files safe. I will use the JPEG files to review my work and occasionally to upload while I travel.

        I looked in to the Tiff process, and that just takes too long, and too much space, and then I would have this one trip differently stored than the other trips. And really, I don’t like editing while I travel as it just makes it more difficult to move the edited files to permanent storage and backup. In this case, I think patience is a virtue. Since my only client is myself, not an issue. It’s not like I am shooting a wedding and the bride wants to see the output.


        Thx for all the above advice - will shoot jpeg and raw and convert the single nef files to tiff that is really needed for the moment and wait till the new release arrive.  Think the Nikon D750 camera is awesome with faster focus, tilt screen and wi-fi. If you receive any more info - please share with us in South Africa.
