Canon seems to me to provide the model for camera software support*. 
They provide everything you need, all at least decent quality, with the 
camera, update it regularly, and the updates are free. That includes RAW 
conversion, image editing, image download/management, remote operation 
and photo stitching software.

I just shake my head every time I hear about the endless shortcomings of 
Oly software. And they have the nerve to charge for some of it!

I didn't even bother, as it doesn't address anything I use.

The one real shortcoming of ACR, in my mind, is that it doesn't let one 
choose the in-camera parameters other than color temp.
