My favorite (at least until I can use Aperture again) is Raw Photo Processor. But I wonder if Sony IDC is that bad ;). I did my own test between Raw Developer, Raw Photo Processor and Sony. The result was: 1. RPP 2. Sony IDC 3. RD I opened every processed file in Photoshop and did the usually post-processing to be as close as possible to "the real deal" There was a very little different from RPP to IDC – both on screen and in print (proof on a R2400). RD lacked details and looked more soft. The image was taken at 640 ISO. Regards, Magnus Mr Kilpatrick,

I have put at least 10K shots on it at this point. I have had it for months and I received SR2 with it and I downloaded version SR: 2.0.01.09280 from Sony weeks ago. You are mistaken on what the vcurrent IDC version number is, what is available at Sony UK and Sony US is IDC SR: 2.0.01.09280. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=DSLRA700&upd_id=3158&os_id=7280 not V2.2. -Sonolta http://www.sonolta.com DK, I own an A700 serial x..308.

I did some recent testing at ISO1000 and ACR 4.3.1 still can't match the clunky IDC 2.0. I'll have some slow shutter ISO 1000 Xmas snaps up soon. -Sonolta http://www.sonolta.com Pretty much what I have found…ACR 4.3.1 is better but not yet great.
