Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.1
When companies release new camera models that are capable of capturing raw images (where the sensor saves the original image data as it was recorded, without compression or optimization), the raw format used by each is slightly (and annoyingly) different and proprietary. Apple incorporates support for the cameras at the system level, rolling them into bulk updates such as the recently released Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.1. This round adds support 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.

I am still waiting for Apple to add support for the Fujifilm Finepix S100FS. Fortunately, Adobe does support this Camera Raw format.
Still no support for Sigma Foveon sensor cameras either. Adobe Lightroom has supported the X3 Raw format for quite a while.
