Apr 9, 2014 9:16 AM in response to Harleymhsby léonie,The raw format is camera specific. Each camera needs a different raw support. Not all raw files are equal. The new raw support is only available with mavericks.

Apr 9, 2014 9:20 AM in response to Harleymhsby LarryHN,Im assuming that the a7's and the New RX10 are the same ARW format,
There you go - that is an incorrect assumption (as most assumptions are - as you know when you assume you make an ***ume out of ***ume & assume) - every RAW format for every camera is different and requires specific support for tha tcamera - notice in the support list that many different cameras in the same family are listed seperatly
Usually Apple releases Sony RAW support pretty quickly since Sony is a major manfactuer of consumer and professional cameras
Tell Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
The Sony software that came with the camera may help (although my experiance is that Sony has poor to non-existance support for Macs) and possible the Adobe RAW converter can help until Apple releases the required update
And it is very possible that the update will only apply to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.x so it is possible that you will have to upgrade your OS and iPhoto (both free) - when you do be sure to backup first

Apr 9, 2014 10:04 AM in response to LarryHNby Harleymhs,So Larry, if the camera is NOT on the LIST the RAW format is not supported? So going to Maverick NOW will do nothing for my ARW issue?

Apr 9, 2014 10:16 AM in response to Harleymhsby LarryHN,Correct - that is what Not Yet means
It is the list of supported RAW fomats
OS X Mavericks provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats from the following cameras.
Any camera that is not on the supported list is not supported
So for the third time
Not yet - again

Sorry for being not clear.
The new raw support is only available with mavericks.
What I meant is, that any new raw support is usually integrated into the latest OS, and will require the newest versions of Aperture or iPhoto being installed.
The current list of Raw Support for Mt. Lion is here:
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371
Notice the foonote:
*Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later, is required to install this update.
By the time, the raw support for your new camera will be released, the current MacOS and latest versions of iPhoto are 9.5.1 and MacOS X 10.9.1 - so the chances are slim, that you will be able to install the new raw support, if you do not update.
