Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 – FINALLY !!!
This is probably the most awaited and coveted RAW compatibility driver for a best selling and great camera.
LX3….OMG….I was beginning to think the day would never come…more long awaited than than the iPad.
Oh, Yay! I second the LX-3 happiness!
I have one too. So do 5500 on Flickr http://stnx.at/a9v6
“Ranked 1 of 123 Panasonic Cameras”
Totally sucks. Lumix FZ-28 is once again dissed!
I believe that the Panasonic LX3 RAW is the same as the FZ28.
Lumix G1 Raw support. Excellent.
Still no Olympus E-620 support. Coming up on a year since its release. Just get an “Unsupported Image Format” message. It’s a feature! Sticking with LR.
Adobe CRUSHES Apple with regards to RAW compatibility. No serious photographer would bother using Aperture since it takes months, almost years to get compatibility to many popular cameras.
Well, I hope you got the message: raw format isn’t a digital negative, never was never will be. It is a proprietary vendor code. If until now you cannot read your new cameras raw file what do you think will read it in ten years.
Yes, Bubba Jones uses a digital camera, but 95% of use is for testing. For personal photos and for clients it is 95% film. Won’t need a computer to look at a real negative. Just saying…
about freakin time for sRAW and LX3 RAW support.
@Bubba:
Hmmm… your post got me thinking – I looked and it’s nice to see that Tri-X and Acufine are still around… cripes, I haven’t done wet work in years and years.
@Jeeve Stobs
You’re right. Most pros do all of their work with obscure custom-converted digital Holgas. All us folks who make a living with our Canons and Nikons and hold onto them for more than a year before trading up for the latest in smile-recognition technology must just be wannabe wankers.
Face it, Lightroom looks and works like it was designed by Windows engineers.

“Hmmm… … I haven’t done wet work in years and years.”
Are you a retired assassin?
@ Majikthize
Face it, it is fact that Lightroom CRUSHES Aperture. There can be no arguing this fact. Lightroom supports more RAW formats and gets them to photographers MONTHS ahead of Apple. Years in some cases.
As long as Aperture supports RAW for the cameras that I use, which it does, I could give a rat’s ass how many RAW formats Lightroom can read above and beyond Aperture. Makes no difference.
Still no Sigma support
Hi Mac Daddy, and Sky Lark.
TriX is good, give a glance to Ilford’s HP5+ and Delta 100. HP5+ is close to TriX, Delta is more contrasty. When clients see it they’re blown away. When they ask, I’ll show the digital file but, I’ve not had anyone choose it over true B&W;.
For almost ten years I was a digital bigot; nothing better than digital. It is much better being back to film, it has that quality that I missed. It is good to be back. Just saying…
YMMV
