Odd RAW errors (CR2) with PS CS4 and Lightroom...

[cfusionpm]

I just recently got a canon 50D, and have been shooting mostly in JPG to save space. Did a photoshoot yesterday using RAW, and both PS and LR seem dumbfounded at my .CR2s. I never had issues with my XTi RAW files; this is very confusing. Is there something different about the 50D? Its firmware is 1.0.6.

Here's a link to the errors thrown by LR and PS: http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7397/errorsc.jpg

ah! nevermind! google directed me to a LR specific forum where it turns out I just need a new update. I guess the 50D uses a slightly different RAW variant? Regardless, issue is resolved now.

... I guess the 50D uses a slightly different RAW variant?...

EVERY camera uses a slightly different RAW variant except those that shoot Adobe's "universal" RAW format, DNG.

Everytime you get a new camera expect to need to upgrade your RAW import filters (ACR plugin in Photoshop's case) or the whole application if its too old to handle the new plugin.
