Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.1 available

Apple has released Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.1 via Software Update. The update can also be downloaded here. The 6.77 MB (web) or 7.2 MB (Software Update) update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.2, and extends RAW image compatibility for Aperture 3 and iPhoto '09 for the following cameras:

• Hasselblad H3DII-50
• Leica M9
• Leica X1
• Olympus E-P1
• Olympus E-P2
• Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
• Pentax K-7
• Pentax K-x
• Sony Alpha DSLR-A500
• Sony Alpha DSLR-A550
• Sony Alpha DSLR-A850

The two Olympus cameras and Panasonic Lumix model are examples of the new compact Micro Four-Thirds cameras, which provide SLR-like capabilities in a compact form factor. The Hasselblad is a high-end 50 Megapixel camera with a price tag to match (US$25,000 and up), so it's good to know that your Mac will be able to handle the digital output from this beauty.

When will they support the Lumix DMC-FZ18k, DMC-FZ28 etc This series of cameras has been in the top 10 of best sellers at Amazon.com for many years now and still no raw support.

Guess I will stick with Adobe Lightroom

LOL @ 50 Megapixels. No overkill there . . .

LOL! That 'blad is a medium format digital camera, arguably the best landscape and architecture digital camera made today. 50MP is probably about right for the size of that sensor.

I wish I could say I was really happy about the Î¼4/3 cameras being supported, but sadly I don't own one yet. ;-) Still, I imagine some people must be saying "finally..." It's only been what, 7 months since the E-P1 was released? 8?
