    <p>According to the camera's data sheet, their FramePro software
      will take the proprietary format and output "Distortion-free, 8
      and 16-bit JPEG, TIFF and BSQ images with RGB, RGBN, NRG, NIR and
      NDVI band combinations"</p>
    <p>It doesn't really seem unreasonable for a camera to use a
      proprietary internal format, as long as they provide software to
      convert it to standard formats.  Particularly if it's a camera
      with some special sensor characteristics.</p>
    <p>The real question is whether they provide their software with the
      camera, or whether you have to pay beaucoup bucks for it.</p>

                                              recognized by any of the
                                              tools I have used so far. 
                                              Oddly enough they actually
                                              have tiff headers but
                                              renaming them to .tiff
                                              doesn't work either. </div>
