Adobe update adds Raw support for 6 new cameras, lens profiles

By Chase Melvin Published June 5, 2014

Adobe has announced Camera Raw 8.5 Release Candidates, which includes support for five new digital cameras and several different lenses. This latest plug-in adds support for the Panasonic Lumix GH4, Olympus OM-D E-M10, Canon Powershot G1 X Mark II, Fujifilm FinePix S1, and Nikon’s 1 V3 and 1 J4.

Owners of these cameras will be able to edit their Raw image files natively in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Creative Cloud, though the Camera Raw 8.5 update is still an early release candidate. Creative Cloud will get some extras. They’ll be able to apply graduated neutral density and radial filter masks with brushes, add mask visualizations to those filters, and see a new per-panel preview default toggle. This update does not include Lightroom, and it’s not officially supported on Mac OS 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Save $500 on the Sony a7 III with 28–70mm lens, a full-frame starter kit that still holds up

Sony a7 III deal

If you’ve been trying to step up from a phone or an older camera without spending “brand-new flagship” money, this is a solid price cut on a kit that’s been a go-to for years. The Sony Alpha a7 III mirrorless camera with the FE 28–70mm F3.5–5.6 OSS lens is $1,699.99 (was $2,199.99), saving you $500. That discount matters because it gets you into full-frame territory with a versatile starter lens, which is usually the most expensive jump for people moving up in photo and video.
