What is the latest version of Samsung's RAW Converter

I use Adobe CS CC and Lightroom CC, but I do like to keep up with the various OEM converters that each brand makes.  Because in some instances, the OEM converters do a great job with certain conversions.

Having said that, I was searching for Samsung's RAW file converter and noticed - from what I could see - that the latest version is 4.0.4.0 - which I downloaded.

But that version only handles files up to and including the NX100 and 200 and EX1 - and nothing after that.  So that beg's the question, is there a newer version, or did Samsung drop this silkypix version of a converter after that?

Thanks in advance...

There must be a later version.   When Samsung replaced the NX3000 with the NX3300 they ceased supplying free copies of Adobe Lightroom and reverted to supplying Samsung Raw Converter instead (plus Samsung DNG converter).    I don't have an NX3300 so I don't know what the software version was or whether it supports other recent models.

Was that on a CD or from a link?

And if it was from a link, can you find the link?

Hi Ben,

The current version of Samsung's Raw and DNG and movie converters that I have is 5.0.2.0. My version was supplied with the NX500 which I bought in Germany in April. It also works with NX1 files. I got it by plugging the cam into the computer, the i-launcher window popped up, and I downloaded the various converters. Samsung's raw converter delivers excellent raw conversions, so it's definitely worth having - and using.

My last Samsung camera was the NX300 that included a free copy of Lightroom 4. My NX200 was bundled with a copy of Silkypix but I don't recall which version it was because I never used it.
