Seems CS3 might not support that kind of RAW file. You should have got some proprietary RAW conversion software with the camera, though.

It's all true, and the images have something about them that I still find pleasing.
However, and it's a big however, it's a massive pain in the neck that said RAW files demand your personal intervention. They pop out on the computer looking flat and rather lifeless, and it can get a bit tiring having to go through every one, tweaking it into becoming (hopefully) a good-looking photo. I get a sinking feeling sometimes, say after coming home from St Peter's with 200 photos, knowing that even if I get it down to 60, that's still 60 photos that I have to go through individually, tooling about in Lightroom till they look ok. Plus the file sizes are enormous, and my computer finds them difficult to deal with quickly (15+ Mb a pop).
Total pain. I'm still going through photos I took nearly a week ago. But I can do what I want with them, which I think I'd miss too much.
