Camera Support - Olympus e620

Hi All,

I've recently bought an Olympus e620, and Aperture 2.0 thinking there wouldn't be any problems with the camera being supported (given the E-3 is supported, and the formats are the same).

Unfortunately it seems the camera isn't supported, and as such I can't use Aperture for my photos without going through a rather involved conversion process (using Adobe Raw)

Does anyone know of any updates (in beta, perhaps) which are available for use? I'm perfectly happy to put up with bugs if it means I can use my copy of Aperture!

Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

UPDATE: As suggested I took my copy of Aperture back to the Apple Store in Birmingham. They refunded without a problem. I'm currently using Lightroom without any issues.

There's also a free download of a Beta version of Lightroom 3 which Adobe say should work until April next year. However, I'm not sure if I'll lose all my work if I stick with this freebie, so will continue to use the 30 day evaluation version of 2.5 for now and buy it when I'm happy with it.

Like others on this forum, I assumed that there wouldn't be any problem with the e620 RAW files - which is why I bought the software. Life is a series of lessons I guess and we have to learn ad move on.

Thanks.

Pete.

It seems that all Olympus .orf files are the same except for the embedded camera id.
I changed the E-620 in the files to E-520 with a hex editor and they are read in iPhoto and Aperture.
Another post referenced a script that can be changed to do this in batch mode until apple catches up.
