- As I understand it, the Sony RAW format is /already/ supported (albeit unofficially) via Adobe Aperture, which by all accounts is as good as any (and better than most) manufacturers' photo-processing software.

(3 Comments)Don't trust Sony s/w? Don't use it!
Use the nice 10.2MP, Super SteadyShot, the pretty new Zeiss glass & buttload of legacy KM lenses, and all the other h/w goodies we're all drooling over... and let the s/w CD sit unopened in its envelope. :) And write a "neener-neener-neener!" letter to Sony. ;)
(Seriously, about that last -- tell them that even though you love the "Alpha" hardware, you don't anticipate EVER again letting any Sony software onto your system... including buying Sony-branded computers).
