As some will know I'm contemplating buying either the Olympus OMD EM10 or Panasonic GX7. I've just downloaded sample files from each camera and found that the .ORF files of the Olly aren't supported by Mac's preview software so I can't open the files to view straight from my hard drive. I tend to view my photos on these and then select which ones I want to save and discard before importing to Aperture or Lightroom. Does anyone know how quickly apple will bring out an update?

Also, looking at the supported RAW for Aperture neither are supported, but having just tried them the Panny RAW files work, but the Olly one doesn't. Again, how quickly do apple bring out updates?

Both are supported by Lightroom 5, but apparently the Olly file support is preliminary, what exactly does this mean?

Edit: Adobe's DNG converter doesn't work with the .ORF files :(
