Just got the new Canon 5D MkIII and none of the Adobe products can recognize the raw files (called .CR2) it generates.
I'd be happy just converting them to .DNG but converters won't recognize them either.
Anyone know a solution for me?
Thanks.

Update to ACR 6.7 RC, Lr 4.1 RC, or the latest version of the Raw converter - these will all handle 5D Mk III files, although ACR 6.7 RC will only work Photoshop CS5.

As of today, the raw converter still doesn't work with MkIII files, (v 6.6.0.261).

D/load Lr4.1RC from labs which does I believe.

The Release Candidate 6.7 converter does work with the 5D Mk III and as stated LR 4.1 RC also works:

Yes I kow about the 6.7RC version but I see in a thread in the Luminous Landscape forum that some are having a few problems with it. So I won't be trying it.

Not sure if you're replying to me, Faster, but re: the DNG converter, 6.6.0.261 definitely works on 5D Mk III files, as does ACR 6.7 RC and Lr 4.1 RC - I've tried them all.
The fact that "someone" on the LuLa forum is a having a problem (although I'm not sure from your post what with) doesn't really change that - if you look hard enough, you'll find somebody, somewhere, having a problem with everything.

Okay, I just can't get it to work for me. I have deleted the copy I had and downloaded the 'latest' version again, re-installed and I still have a problem. I can convert my MkII files no problem, but it just doesn't see the MkIII files, i.e. they don't even show up in the folder. If I go to the 'Adobe DNG Conveter.exe' file location in \Program Files ((x86)\ I can see the 'exe' file, but it has a date of 1/12/11, which doesn't seem right. Its the only copy on my hard drive. Don't know. I'll just wait for the update.

With LR open could you go to the main menu bar and select the "about" option and see what is displayed in the dialog displayed.
See the screen shot. Do you see Version 4.1 RC
