I purchased the new Sony DSC RX-100 which has the options for shooting in RAW. I shot a series of family pictures in RAW and tried to bring it into Photoshop CS6 with the latest version of Camera RAW (7.1.0.356) but the pictures would not load. I then went to the Adobe site for Camera RAW and found that this camera is not yet supported in Camera RAW. Sony does have a converter that you can download which will change the RAW (ARW) files to TIFF which CS6 will accept.

I post this as a warning to anyone who might purchase this camera. Otherwise this is a fantastic camera and I am pleased with it.

I'm surprised you didn't get software from sony when you bought the camera.

wanna see something interesting, copy one of your raw files into a folder of it's own, then change the extension to tif

You can convert your raw files to DNG which CS6 bridge will read and open.Go to Adobe and get the DNG converter

I have been planning on getting this camera for a pocket camera. Other than the software issue what is your take on the image quality <

I am just getting used to the camera. It has almost all the features of my Alpha cameras except for interchangeable lens. The Zeiss Icon lens is fabulous and the image quality seems great. The menu options are similar to the Alpha cameras and the button controls are easy to work with. Some complaints have been that the movie record button is too close to the thumb grip but I haven’t had a problem accidently hitting the movie record while taking stills.
To answer one person’s comment, this camera does not come with software you need to go to the Sony site to download their converter software (can't attach an ARW file) and ARW files are not directly convertible to DNG or TIFF without the converter.
