X-Trans RAW Support - Complain Where It Counts

Talk of Fujifilm "not providing" the right sort of technical information to software development companies that would enable them to implement true X-Trans support is nonsense.

However, there could be something in what else has been said. That software developers may want to "see the money" before they put in the effort.

In at least one other forum someone claimed to have evidence that software developers are demanding Fujifilm "pay" them to implement support for the X-Trans within their software. Commercial blackmail by another name.

I very much doubt this is true but I guess it is sadly plausible that unless RAW processing software companies can see there is money in it for them then it is no wonder things are the way they are.

Mind you, the out of cam jpeg's are amongst the very best I have seen from ANY camera. So while it would be nice to have proper RAW support, some people may be forced to discover they just may not need RAW processing software anymore.

For me personally RAW support would be good for those odd times when shooting in very challenging conditions. The remaining 95% of the time I go jpeg with my S3 and have never looked back.

Cheers
