I wonder if this also resolves the magenta-shifting of highlights that I've been experiencing with Canon EOS 1D3 and PowerShot S60 .CR2 files...

If not, have you filed a bug report?

If not, have you filed a bug report?

I asked a friend with that issue and he says he still has it.

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

Yes!!!!!! \o/ ... I've been hoping against hope for this since RAW ability was given in a firmware upgrade. Fantastic Camera!

RAW support fast?

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E-PL1 support finally.

Agreed. I've been using the "Olympus Master 2" software with my E-PL1's RAW files and it's ssssslllllooooowwwww (like 20s to display a pic in 1:1 resolution). Wondering if iPhoto's RAW handling is significantly faster than the Olympus s/w.

Been holding off on upgrading from iPhoto '08 -> '09 in the hopes that '10 will come out soon....................soon?

I'm suprised to see there's still support for the Lumix FZ35 camera's .rw2 RAW files.

I hope Apple adds support this in a future Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update.

I own that model-and currently have to use Silkypix to work with the RAW files from the camera.

I just wish Apple would add DNG 5.4 support. There's native RAW support for the Panasonic micro four thirds cameras with the advanced correction features, so presumably the foundation for DNG 5 (which is different from older DNG versions because of those same features) is in place.

Thing is, since Adobe's DNG converter is free, once Apple adds support for the latest version they get automatic support for pretty much EVERYTHING, since Adobe is pretty on top of adding new cameras to the DNG converter. It is, admittedly, an additional step to convert from native RAW to DNG, but DNG is at least standardized, so I don't need to worry about support for my specific camera down the line. The files are also a little smaller, as a bonus.

Now, why cameras aren't writing DNGs (or some currently non-existent universal RAW format) natively is another question. It's ridiculous that there isn't a standardized solution for this problem already.

The Panasonic G2 images are much better than the in camera JPG results.
