I like my DXO 8 even more now...no need for CC.

But mmmhh...the box cover looks outdated with this "unbranded" "pro" camera on it ;)

Please DXO: do an update and get a cool box cover now!

Well if DXO supports your camera. Then you still need editing software. (Yes, Gimp and Paint.net are freeware places to start, but neither is great.)

DXO are busy on the next release v9. Who buys the box copy? Where on earth can you buy the box copy other than some online stores?

If all you need is raw processing with lens correction then you can use DXO Optics rather than lightroom or camera raw. If you need any catalogue or advanced editing you'll need to go elsewhere.

Provided you're not shooting raw with a Fuji XTrans filtered camera.

It's a good choice for CS7 cloud alternative :-)

No it's not. It's an alternative to Lightroom (and not a great one at that) not CS7.

That's right, because now new NX cameras ship with Lightroom.

The point is that DXO is lazy, they've also decided to ignore Fuji XTrans filtered raws.

The reason to care about Samsung NX cameras, is given the lens quality they're a serious alternative to Sony's Nex system, better menus too.

A reason DXO should make an effort, is that DXO gets a bad reputation for support and then people ignore the software--it took several years before DXO bothered with raws from Leica Ms.

Aftershot, and as best as I know CaptureOne, don't ignore Samsung and Leica, yes I know Aftershot doesn't do Fuji XTrans raws yet.

Aftershot hasn't been properly updated in a very long while. They don't support new-ish cameras like the Canon 6D. Just head on over to the Corel forums to see loads of people whining about it. DXO is lightyears ahead of Aftershot when it comes to supporting current cameras.

Philip Goh,

Aftershot was updated in Dec 2012, DPReview didn't bother to note that fact at the time.

Feel free to complain to Corel/Aftershot/Bibble about unsupported cameras, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that DXO doesn't support Samsung NX raws, Aftershot does, doesn't support Fuji XTrans raws, Aftershot also doesn't, and took years longer than Bibble/Aftershot to support DNGs from Leica.

AfterShot does not support the NX210, which is a bit of a drag because I like to do everything in Linux.

I'm also not entirely convinced that Corel is continuing development of the product.

Then I should revise my statement to say, at least Aftershot opens some Samsung NX raws, while DXO still opens none.

Bibble used to take months between updates, so that there hasn't been an update since the end of last year isn't really surprising. But please complain to Corel. I think you're right, if they want to sell Aftershot licenses, then they need to update things. And the Samsung NX210 shouldn't be much of an update.

It appears that Aftershot doesn't do the NX20 raws either.

Have you tried the freeware DigiKam? My problem wasn't so much its ability, but that it exported tiff files I couldn't then delete from my Windows hard drive. There may have been some other glitches too, but it extracts lots of raws and it's the best of the many freeware raw extraction programs that I've tested out over the last few months.

You know "this" (whatever camera that refers too), or you're speculating?
