All Canon cameras come with RAW software. The 10D comes with a driver for most Windows systems, download/view software, RAW-converter, panorama stitching software, etc. I assume that Pentax will too. English will probably always be incuded. Canon ships 2 or three languages on a given CD but not ALL languages. I have a Canon CD with English and German and another with Spanish, French and English. Pentax might do the same. I thought everything is available for download, but based on some other answers, I am not sure any more. Cheers, Boz
