MDC is a file format used by the Minolta RD175 digital camera for saving images. It can be opened and viewed with specialized software, such as the included Minolta PhotoPC software. It is known for its high image quality and rich colors.
It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
