Naaaah!
I finally switched to Apple in these last days, after using both Windows and OSX for years, but mainly having pictures managed under PC.
I just realised that I can't edit in Aperture 3.2.1 my FZ-18 RAW files!!!
Still in this very bat situation? After years and several models marketed with almost the same sensor/image processor???
Why hasn't my beloved Apple made an update yet for those best-selling bridge cameras like Panasonic FZ's? What a shame!
OK, Aperture isn't the "very best" app ever made, but I do like the way it works; I am satisfied with it. And also, simply having a quick preview or seeing - within OSX's Finder - a meaningful icon of my RAW files miniature would be a superior grade of customer satisfaction instead of the horrible Windows way of managing pics which are not common JPG's or TIF's...

Its is also incredibly upsetting to see that the Nikon new V1 and J1 are already made useable with their RAW outputs... :(

Aperture is certainly not on the ball with linear DNG, this must be update 39 without it... (yes, it can be very useful, for example when Aperture doesn't support your non-Bayer camera natively either - which it never has)

Wow!!! Aperture's on the ball, that was quick.......well done Apple.

Checked some high ISO shots Alpha 77. Noise really bad. In camera JPEG was sharper and had much less noise. Using Apple presets

I couldnt help but wonder is the high noise a result of Sony cramming in 24 million pixels on an APS-C sized sensor?

Hi there, I don't have FCpro but Aperture and iMovie (of course), and I was able to edit AVCHD files without problem at all.
