I'll add that I tried the first one.  CS3 can't convert it because it's 
too early for the E-620 but PSE 8.0 can.  The PSE 8.0 conversion looks 
very close to the camera's JPEG.  The only thing that struck me right 
off is that the purple paint in the upper right hand corner is a bit 
darker and slightly more saturated in the PSE conversion.  I guess I 
should compare some Canon CR2 files between CS3 and PSE 8.0 since 
someone (I think it was Candace) complained of a difference between CS3 
and PSE 8's conversions... but I'm too lazy at the moment.
