Hello all, anyone knows what is the normal ETA for MACOS RAW Support on a new camera?
I Purchased a new Panasonic Lumix S5iiX a few days ago and the RAW files (RW2) is still not supported by Sonoma 14.2.1 even if the camera has been out for more than 6 months.
Tks in advance!
Mac Studio (2023)
I agree with Zembla. The S5ii and S5iix were released a few months apart and are based on the same sensor, same RAW format and same hardware. Differences is down to external USBC support and additional codec support on the S5iix.
From a stills photo perspective, there is ZERO reason that the S5ii is supported by Apple Raw but S5iiX is not... the only difference is the EXIF tag for the camera. S5m2 versus S5m2X
Surely Apple can use the same demosaicing approach for the S5m2 as they do for the S5M2X ?
Apple, please listen and provide RAW support! :)

It usually takes a few months-years-never. Nowadays with macOS updates.
Buy a camera that is already supported or use Adobe DNG Converter while waiting for support.

If you want to address Apple (rather than the users who frequent this forum), you should use their formal path:
