What is the normal lead time for a new camera such as the Nikon D750 to be available in LR5?

      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?

        hahaha - omg, this is priceless... really - regardless of the FACT that specific format will ALWAYS outperform generic format and the FACT that there is ALWAYS loss of data in the conversion of any type - do me a favor - take a severely underexposed shot in 14 bit RAW - import it to Capture NX-D and adjust exposure (recover image data) - then take the same NEF - convert it to DNG, import it to LR and try to recover the image - compare side to side 2 images and see the answer staring you right in the face... . Furthermore - NEF is NOT simply a "tiff with few extensions" - it is a most direct representation of the image from the CIS. try the same thing I described above with the RAW converted to TIFF - and see the results (tip - the result will be even more drastic than NEF vs DNG) - reality is that in 99% of cases you will not need this sort of dynamic range, but it is there


        I. Yes Nef is based on tiff. The Bayer mosaic is still on there so it is really a greyscale tiff with the direct data from the sensor but the fact that it is just tiff makes it trivial to read. This is widely known: "Many raw file formats, including IIQ (Phase One), 3FR (Hasselblad), DCR, K25, KDC (Kodak), CR2 (Canon), ERF (Epson), MEF (Mamiya), MOS (Leaf), NEF (Nikon), ORF (Olympus), PEF (Pentax), RW2 (Panasonic) and ARW, SRF, SR2 (Sony), are based on the TIFF file format.[4] These files may deviate from the TIFF standard in a number of ways, including the use of a non-standard file header, the inclusion of additional image tags and the encryption of some of the tagged data." from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format


        II. Converting to dng will give you a bit-for-bit identical copy. This is just how the standard is written. Your test is flawed as it compares two different software packages - not how much info is in the raw file. Use the same product and you'll see you get completely identical results.
