Hmm. Adobe pages not at all clear on compatibility.
The latest version of ACR that is compatible with PSCS is 2.4. This is not natively compatible with my D200 - but *may* be with the included DNG converter - but does the version of the DNG converter packaged with ACR 2.4 support the D200? Unclear.
I think DNG is a great idea, but unless the camera supports it natively, it has some serious drawbacks. Does this mean that I now have a 11 MB RAW file, a DNG file of a similar size, a TIFF (sometimes even bigger), and at least 1 JPEG for each photo I process? Maybe each photo requires its own hard drive now. I don't think I can bring myself to discard my original RAW files.
Workflow: Shoot in RAW, convert to DNG, fine tune and save as TIFF. Save as Jpeg for the web. I don't think this is going to work for me. Am I missing some critical concept here?
Time to investigate other RAW converters that are compatible with PSCS and the D200. Bibble starts to look good again.
