I'd actually be a little surprised if Adobe didn't support new RAW formats for CS1. They do have a large user base using older versions for a number of their products and in my experience they are better than most when it comes to not leaving those people behind. Of course, since the capability for decoding the various RAWs is built in to new versions of Camera Raw (not an extension), they might be less likely to support two separate versions.
Of course, things can change and I could be wrong.
Well, you're wrong (and, therefore, at least a little surprised). Adobe have explicitly stated that the Canon 350D (aka Rebel XT), the Nikon D2X, and any new cameras to come will *not* be supported in Photoshop 8 (CS).
Is the DNG converter a possible workaround here?
Yes.
In fact this is the workaround that Adobe suggest - the latest
version of the DNG converter includes support for those cameras.
That's one way to get support for a standard.
Question. Is the DNG format 16 bit?
