The end of the JPEG = ??? forcurrent DSLRs

wow.
I thought the article said "Bothans have devised a new way of squishing data".
I was afraid many of them died to bring us this information.

I use JPEG for one reason, everybody has a viewer for it. I am not a pro and never will be. I shoot for fun. If my friend cannot view an image I send them it is no use to me. If this new format became supported by MAC and Windows then I would fully support it and use it. I have worked with PCs to long to run into formats that are jumped on and then end of life due to only a limited number of people using it. This is disaster for the people using the format when it becomes unsupported.

I guess my need is wide compatibility first quality second. Currently JPEG offers this.
