Yes
I bought a G3 as an upgrade from a G1 but nothing I have will open the RAW files it produces. Element 8 will not even after an update. iPhoto will not. Review will not. I spoke to Panasonic who say Adobe are working on it.

But how the RAW files been reviewed if it hasn't been opened!

Help!
 
Shambolic. It's like Vista 64 again!

Surely the software specs were finalised relatively early in the development process so why do they pass them onto 3rd parties so late?

I assume Panasonic provided proprietary software with the camera? (Nikon bundle their Nef-friendly (Nikon RAW) ViewNX software with their cameras and Canon do the same I think).
 
They give you SilkyPix. But useful? Yes, in the same way garlic would be for Nosferatu. The people at Panasonic are blaming Adobe for not having the updates ready and then said it was early days for the camera. And that's true, but we are talking about RAW files which are a pretty essential item.
 
This normally happens when a new camera is released, it takes a while for Adobe to sort out the files. Not their fault, blame the manufacturers for not sharing information with Adobe. We wouldn’t have this hassle if all the manufacturers used the same format, but I guess they want to sell their software.
 
Nothing wrong with Silkypix, it's got some weird User interface quirks but it's actally pretty capable.
