how come when we talk about shooting in raw no one mentions the raw format they are shooting in?
each camera uses different formats, my sony uses arw, my pentax uses dng.

i think because these are merely manufacturers designations, they are not interchangeable - you can't change arw to dng - its a camera thing.

I think because when you use RAW everyone knows what your talking about.

Each manufacturer either has their propriety version or use dng which is Adobe's version of a raw file. Lightroom has an option to convert to the DNG format when importing raw photos. The case for that is, according to Adobe, that format will not become obsolete, at least as soon as some manufacturer's versions if they go by the wayside. The attempt was to make DNG universal. If it has been successful or not, however you would measure that, I don't know.
Hope that helps.

The RAW file format differs from one camera-maker to another. Canon uses the file extension *.cr2 to designate its RAW files.
Further, as Canon releases a new camera, the RAW file format for it may change, requiring a RAW processing program to update. Adobe Camera RAW soon enough adds the new camera's RAW file format change to its list of supported cameras.
This subject does not bear too much discussion, except to note when a user buys the latest camera, he may have to wait a short time for ACR to back-engineer the changes in its RAW file format for processing.

And NIkon uses the NEF(Nikon electronic file)raw file. Capture NX2 and View NX2 release softwares updates whenever Nikon releases new camera updates so that one can open and read raw files from that new camera.

RAW is 'generic' and applies to the capabilities of just about all DSLRs.
CR2, NEF, etc are company proprietary implementations of RAW.
.
So - when one describes a process as using RAW as a starting point - everyone will know what they are talking about.

Olympus also uses .dng for its RAW file format, its a non-proprietary format that can be utilized by any manufacturer.
One interesting thing I noticed, you can post DNG files here on UHH.

When you download in lightroom you download your raw files to dng (digital negative). You will always have these files and can convert to several formats as your developing or exporting to where ever.
