problems importing Canon RAW files to Aperture/Photos

I have problems importing RAW files produced by the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II.

According to Apple the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is supported:

http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html

The result is as follows (detail of the picture):

When using Adobe DNG Converter and Photoshop for the conversion everything is fine:

I have the latest operating system and Aperture version 3.6 installed.

What can I do to import the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II RAW files directly without unexpected distortions or time consuming work arounds?

Aperture 3, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

unfortunately the problem is back.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark RAW-files behave strangely. image appears scrambled or even turns black.

The camera type should be supported since OS X Yosemite v10.10.

I have this exact same problem. Half of my photo is scrambled or turns black. My camera is a Panasonic G6 that I just bought. running OS10.10.5 with Aperture 3.6 and Digital Camera Raw 6.06. The whole setup should support it. It does the same when opening the RW2 file with preview.

I have used ths setup for years and thousands of RAW pictures with my Panasonic G3, never missed a beat.

On another Mac it works fine in preview with the Panasonic G6 RW2 files. This Mac also runs 10.10.5, but has no aperture so I can't find out what Digital Camera Raw it runs.

If you launch the Photos.app on your Mac without Aperture, the "About panel in Photos will show you the RAW support version.
