3 reasons Jamie
(a) RAW conversion parallels the firmware in the camera, so using DPP for canon camera allows you to set the camera parameters neutral or as you find yourself shifting them regularly. Likewise NX for Nikon.
(b) the RAW converter in PS(E4) is only a subset of those in DPP/probably NX, not the lot. Saves are then to .png, not the original untouched article
(c) PS is a notoriously user unfriendly programme that also hogs memory, flattens batteries and is generally anti-social. Unfortunately about the only thing that has layers and hosts one or two useful plug-ins, so that is all I use it for.
