Wow - it only took Adobe a year and a half to create a codec - and it is beta. Now, how long will it take Pentax to update their codec for the K20D - another 18 months?

Vista released on January 30, 2007. Pentax codec released April 26, 2007. So maybe this year? Now Adobe has a BETA out - good grief is it really that hard to write a codec?

Don't think its that hard.

Propably getting all the checkboxes in it asking

• if you are sure you want to use is[/*]
• and if you are sure[/*]
• and if you
  [/*]
• and[/*]

to get the wonderful secure interface it needs for vista made it a bit late

Unfortunately the Pentax codec is only for PEF and not DNG even though their latest cameras support both. Doesn't make sense to me.

As for Adobe... <shrug>
