For one thing its a lot (read LOT and a LOT more) faster. From previous posts written by other members, I would also say the results are far better. I wouldn't shoot RAW without it. I'm certainly no RAW expert, I shoot JPG's most of the time, due to speed limitations. However the AdobeRAW software is a dream to use, very simple, very effective, correct colour straight away (to the eye anyway, I've not tested it with any metering device), and soooo fast. If you're on a 1DS, the only decision should be whether to spend out on the Phase One software (Capture One) which apparently is superb, especially workflow wise. But it is a big investment (though in comparison to the cost of a 1DS, its pretty damn small - As usual, people don't mind paying for hardware, but think software is somehow overpriced? I can never get my head around this, but perhaps that's because I appreciate what good software can do). For What it costs, buy AdobeRAW anyway. I can't believe there are many people who've bought it and been disappointed. Though I've no doubt they exist somewhere.
