Apple has issued Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01, adding support for 11 cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto ’11. The update includes support for many of the latest cameras including the Nikon D600, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, Canon EOS-M and Panasonic G5. Many of the latest enthusiast compacts, including the Canon G15 and S110, and Panasonic DMC-LX7 are also covered, though there’s still no support for recent high-end Fujifilm models.

The Luminous Landscape – What’s New
Accessory maker Richard Franiec has unveiled his design for a custom grip for the Sony RX100. As usual for one of Franiec’s grips, the anodized aluminium accessory is held in place with 3M VHB tape, which holds it firmly in place but can be removed, without damage, later. The design follows the pattern of his existing grips and doesn’t protrude beyond the camera’s retracted lens barrel, so that pocketability isn’t reduced. The grip will be available from August 2012 at a cost of $ 34.95, plus shipping.

Korean accessory maker Gariz has introduced a leather half-case for the Sony RX100. Setting it apart from the other examples on the market is its metal base plate. This not only allows the attachment of the company’s ‘Gun Shot’ strap system but also repositions the tripod mount into line with the lens’s optical axis. The cases can be bought directly from the company, though it’s not clear what additional shipping costs will add to the Korean price of 76,000 Won (around $ 67). (From DCWatch)
