I also notice that loss in LR with the x10 - the previews suddenly seem to 
"plop" as a cold slide would in the projector ... 
I attributed it so far to a sort of hidden lens adjustment.
Yet Moose's explanation also makes  much sense to me. 
What I don't understand is the 0.5 sec delay for the conversion to take place 
on screen

Have you checked the image pixel sizes? I imagine you will find that LR 
delivers all the camera claims.

If I recall correctly, camera specs and most converters ignore a few pixels 
along each edge. This is because they cannot 
be fully converted for accurate color, as some of the other, surrounding pixels 
needed for full decoding of the Bayer 
array are not there.That little set of border pixels are used in decoding color 
for those next further in, but not used 
directly as part of the image.

Soooo, they need to include them in the Raw files, for use by converters, but 
they are not intended to be in converter 
output.

DCRaw offers the option to produce these extra, edge pixels, so any GUI 
converter/editor using it underneath has that 
option, if desired. It's not really many pixels. On the A650, 3000x4000 becomes 
3024x4032. I used DCRaw some time ago. I 
couldn't see anything wrong with the color of the extra pixels, but I only look 
closely at a very few images.

I can see why the camera makers would not include them in their specs and most 
converters don't include them in their 
output. All it takes is one yahoo blogging about false colors at the edge of 
the image to cause endless trouble.

Assuming this is what you are seeing, I'm not sure why Apple would include it.
