How do I use lightroom with a Canon EOS 7d mark ii

I use Lightroom for everything and love it.  It is fantastic with all of my Canon cameras.   However, I just bought the new Canon 7D mark ii and Lightroom doesn't read the raw files.   I don't see Adobe having any updates for the new Raw file.   In their defense I couldn't find the new camera on the Canon website to register it.   Any solutions.

    For the moment i use the follow solution :

    Import RAW in Canon Digital Photo Proffessional , Export in batch and convert your RAW's in TIFF  . Open Lightroom and Import the TIFF's as " Apply " ( not convert as DNG )  . You can edit your pictures in Lightroom !

    You must be joking, @seanmclean_sc, we are not Adobe here, we are just Lightroom users (and by the way, it seems to be acceptable to thousands ... tens of thousands ... hundreds of thousands of Lightroom users)

    My comment was not directed at you or any community members. Squarely at Adobe. And I disagree, but if it works for you then it works for you. This is not a solution for me.

    Can I check if I use this method does it make any difference if I shoot JPEG and import to LR directly skipping the Canon DPP step?

    Thanks.

    Yes you can import JPGs from whatever modern camera into LR without issues.  It is the raw files that need specific support to be added. 

    If you’re going to push the adjustments then the JPG compression artifacts might become visible which is why TIFs from DPP were suggested.  It depends on how important the pictures are and how much you’d be adjusting them.

    Thinking that the cloud would offer more up to date versions I signed up for the year subscription to CC only to find that my purchased version of Lightroom is up to date and nothing newer is on the "cloud". Hmmm.

    The same is true for Camera Raw. So having a subscription to the creative cloud doesn't necessarily mean you will have immediate support for new cameras. It still takes time for Adobe to acquire the camera and develop the profiles for it. And it's not the only camera they are preparing to add support for. This same dilemma shows itself two or three times every year. But don't despair. The wait will eventually be over and it will no longer be an issue for you.

    This camera is not supported by Lightroom at this time. It probably will be supported when the next version of Lightroom is released.

    This may be a naive and lame question but I still use Ligthroom 4. Do you think there will be an update to the raw files for this version to include the 7D Mark II, or will it require an update of the Lightroom version to accommodate this new camera?

    No way. LR 4 hasn't been updated for two years and never will be. Use the DNG Converter or upgrade to LR 5.
