Apple releases new Digital Camera RAW update

Apple has released yet another compatibility update for the RAW format in digital cameras for use with iPhoto and Aperture, and it makes the following (mostly new) cameras compatible:

• Canon PowerShot S100

• Nikon 1 J1

• Nikon 1 V1

• Nikon COOLPIX P7100

• Olympus PEN E-PL1s

• Olympus PEN E-PL3

• Olympus PEN E-PM1

• Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ150

• Sony Alpha NEX-5N

• Sony Alpha SLT-A65

• Sony Alpha SLT-A77

Spiffy! I'm interested to see the new PowerShot in there -- it's relatively inexpensive for cameras that can take pictures in the RAW format, and the PowerShot line is generally good for beginner to mid-level users. Of course, you should always do your own research before embarking on a camera purchase, but if you want a cheap(er) way to play with the RAW format, that might be a good option. As always, the update is available through Software Update.
