Thanks Brian My main interest in it is for Raw conversion also. My current system should support it, everything else I've looked at requires a significant upgrade which I'm not about to do right now just to be able to handle Raw. How does the Raw convertor compare to others? The Pentax convertor was next to useless in my opinion.
