P: Sigma SD1 - when will the Merrill sensors be supported, please!

It's 2 years since the SD1 was first shown, and 1 1/2 years since a family of Sigma bodies using the 15.4/16Mp sensor began to fill out. There are now thousands of DP and SD Merrill bodies out there, and yet Lightroom/ACR still have no support for them.

Third party support does exist from one small developer, so it can't be that hard to process these files - please, support these cameras or give a definitive explanation for the lack of support so users can pursue the right angle to get support.

I subscribed to Photoshop CC and Lightroom, now I ́m urgently waiting for Raw support for my DP2M camera...

Count me as one among the many who would be very pleased to have LR/PS support for Merrill files.

I would also love to see Sigma Merrill based cameras supported. The Sigma SD-1 may be a small portion of the market, but the Sigma DP-1M, DP-2M, and DP-3M are all large sensor compacts that lots of people use alongside many different kinds of DSLRs, so there are more people shooting them than you would think.

You used to support X3F files from the SD-14 and earlier. Even though I'd love to see SD-15 support, I don't think people would much if you just picked up at Merrill support going forward if that was a sticking point.

Also, I can say for sure that if you support Merrill cameras you'll have one more Photoshop CC subscription than you did before - as it stands for years now I've had no particular reason to use Photoshop and so I've been drifting away as a customer.

Photoshop makes some of the best photographic tools in the business, don't you feel the urge to be the application that gets to develop digital images like this:

Is this a question that Adobe doesn't have an answer for, or just can't comment on? Given the new CC subscription paradigm, the answer is highly relevant to purchase considerations.

Agree completely. At least some sort of explanation or timeline or even a flat out "never" if that's the case (hopefully not) would help.
