i am thinking of getting the new canon 7D and want to know if it works with lightroom

it shoots raw and I do believe worse case scenerio you can flip them to jpep and yep I would say you can do it. Also contact adobe and Cannonusa.com they will tell you for sure

From a photography forum I frequent:

Lightroom 2.5 will process 7D Raw files but the output is very poor. Lots of noise even at ISO 100 and very oversaturated colours. If you go down to the Camera Calibration section of the Develop module you will see that LR is using a "Beta" profile for the camera. Clearly they need to do a lot more work on it.

DPP (canon's raw image editor) is much better - no visible noise at ISO 100 and more realistic colours. (Quite a lot of noise at the pixel level at ISO 200, though. I must put the camera NR setting back to Normal.)

Warning - don't judge 7D image quality from LR output.

guess i will wait to get the canon 7D when LR can work with it...dont need to add any more programs or complications .... wonder if anyone knows when adobe will be getting this update out...
