Windows users can finally view RAW photos taken with their six year old Minolta Maxxum 7D. Photographers who use Windows machines can rejoice. The Microsoft Camera Codec Pack adds support for RAW image viewing to Windows Explorer. You can now look at images from over 200 different cameras right there on your computer, without having to open then in a RAW photo editing application first.
Most new cameras from the major brands are supported.
