edit: but it appears that D70s NEF files still won't display as thumbnail images in Adobe Bridge. They now open natively in Camera Raw when you double click on the files but you can't see a preview of the image in Bridge without opening the files.
I updated Adobe Bridge to the newest version - I thought that might be the solution but no go.
Adobe Bridge does show thumbnails of my older Nikon D70 (not D70s) NEF raw files. Just not Nikon's newer format.
I'm still happier that I don't have to go through the extra step of converting my D70s Raw files to Adobe's proprietary .dng format to be able to modify the files in Adobe Camera Raw.
I know that Nikon has their Capture program to do their own Raw modifications but I'd rather just use PS CS2 if I can.
Now I only have a semi-enthusiastic smaller applause
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Sorry you are having problems with Adobe raw conversion for your D70s. I have never upgraded from the original D70 and so have not had your problems.
I believe you are mistaken when you said, "Adobe's proprietary .dng format..." DNG is an open format and not proprietary. The idea behind DNG is to provide a format that is flexible enough to allow all camera manufacturers the freedom to include unique information yet still be open to thrid-party developers. Recently, Nikon and Adobe have publically agreed to work together.
Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Paperback) by Bruce Fraser contains an excellent discussion of DNG. It is also a great reference on how to get the most out of raw conversion.

While you are correct about the format being "open", it is certainly Adobe who is behind the format.
Press Release: "SAN JOSE, Calif. — Sept. 27, 2004 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today introduced the Digital Negative Specification, a new unified public format for raw digital camera files. The company also launched a free software tool, Adobe DNG Converter, which translates many of today's popular raw photo formats into the new .DNG file format, compliant with the Digital Negative Specification." http://www.dcviews.com/press/Adobe-DNG.htm
Proprietary was probably an incorrect word, but I believe it's Adobe's baby for the world to embrace.

You are certainly correct that DNG is "Adobe's baby for the world to embrace." The issue that Bruce Fraiser raises is should the world embrce DNG? He explains why we should. That said, I have yet to convert a single NEF to DNG. I think Bruce is right, but with many hundred NEFs, it's hard to figure out where to start.
There was a great article 6 mos.+/- ago in the mag, Digital Photo Pro, identifying the virtues of .dng. And I believe the author. I think it would be great if the different camera manufacturers would sign-on. I'll bet those who produce workflow tools could spend more time with the tools and less time working on compatibility. I've noticed that Hasselblad and Leica are adopting the format. I'd like to see one of the "big guns" announce the same.

canon 5d raw files open in new version of acr
i can confirm that although the acr 3.2 update does not specifically state support for canon 5d raw files, that the files do indeed open up in this new version.

I have a D70 and just purchased a D50 as a back up camera and found the same problem with Adobe Bridge. I have Adobe Bridge for both PC and Mac and have found once the RAW update was put on the PC, Adboe Bridge once again worked perfectly, but this is not the case with the Mac.

If you have Adobe Bridge working on the Mac for the D70s/D50 RAW, what have I done Wrong?
I placed the new RAW plug-in, in the file format folder just like I did on the PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
