Windows users can finally view RAW photos taken with their six year old Minolta Maxxum 7D
Photographers who use Windows machines can rejoice. The Microsoft Camera Codec Pack adds support for RAW image viewing to Windows Explorer. You can now look at images from over 200 different cameras right there on your computer, without having to open then in a RAW photo editing application first.
Most new cameras from the major brands are supported. Pretty much everything from Nikon and Canon will work (although not the Nikon D3100 or D5100), along with a few Leicas (M8, M9 and a couple of D-Lux compacts), some Panasonic, Sony’s and Olympus models and even cameras from Minolta (even the Maxxum 7D from 2005 is supported!)
The pack also lets you edit images, including JPG, TIFF and PNG formats. This takes care of everything from your high-end SLR to your cellphone camera.
Windows users can go grab the codec pack now. Rumors that Microsoft will soon be adding support for faxes and telegrams are unfounded.
