Finally!!
I got the Digital Rebel XSi (450D) weeks ago, and I simply could NOT see the RAW pictures I took (Aperture was showing "Unsupported Image Format")... what a painful and long wait!
Apple, I understand you want RAW support at the OS-level (and not at the application-level as LightRoom does), but you really gotta be faster with this, or you're going to piss off professional and consumer photographers, and you'll make them switch to LightRoom...

I just wish they'd go back and support the Panasonic Lumix FZ30. Virtually the same as the FZ50, but.... Fortunately they added full support for DNG files at some point (instead of only supporting DNGs with known RAW format files in them). So it's now possible to convert unsupported RAW formats to DNG with Adobe's converter and then load them into iPhoto and have them actually work.

Go to www.apple.com/feedback and request that the FZ30 be added. (While you are at it, also ask that the popular Lumix FZ18 be added as well!)
For some reason, Apple is not adding many Panasonic Lumix cameras. Or maybe they just want to support the very expensive DSLR's.

I wish they support the VERY popular Lumix FZ18K. Go to Amazon.com and this camera is in the top 10 of all cameras Amazon sells. It is very inexpensive and supports RAW. Yet Apple still does not support it.

To anyone who owns a Sony Alpha A 300 and is baffled that this Camera isn't supported, although the almost identical A200 and A350 are: I wrote a little Automator workflow which converts A300 Raw Images to A200 Format, so you can use them with Preview, iPhoto or Aperture:
You can find it here

I sure would like to try your converter, but I can't get the link to work.
"Can't find server "www.stylemac.com" is the error message.

I'm having a problem as well. I have both a G5 and an Intel Macbook. Both have older versions of iPhoto (v 6.0.6) and both are incompatible with the new XSi RAW formatted photos. Any fixes for the older versions?

Does anyone know if XSi will be supported by older versions of iPhoto? I have v. 6.0.6 and they're not compatible right now.
