Hi Godfrey, I'm just confused since I see that Apple updated its camera raw compatibility under Lion (update 4.04) for the K-5II. I like the fact that OSX handles DNG across the entire operating system (like hitting the spacebar to preview images, including DNG files). Is the DNG from the newer bodies still compatible with 10.6.8 this way? Has the DNG format changed in the new bodies? Since I've been using Aperture 2 for RAW processing (and can't upgrade) I'm hoping for backward compatibility.
