To me, output quality is the most important thing, I use DPP for Canon and
Olympus Viewer 2 for Olympus RAW files, they are free. Their workflow/
interface may not be the best but to me the quality are. I trust camera
manufacturer's software output quality more.
For Olympus software, both Master and Studio 2 are phased out, the latest
version is July 2009. You need Viewer 2 for the additional features found
on their latest cameras.
