OK, I'm probably the last person to find this out, but there is this neat little CODEC that you can install to see Nikon RAW files (NEF) as thumbnails and previews in Windows 7. I can pick and choose which photos I want to convert to JPG now!!! http://nikonrumors.com/2011/07/27/you-can-now-view-nikon-raw-nef-files-in-windows-7.aspx/
I think it is supposed to support Canon, too! It looks like it supports more Canon files than Nikon: Canon: Digital Rebel XT, Digital Rebel XTi, EOS 10D, EOS 20D, EOS 30D, EOS 40D, EOS 50D Digital, EOS 60D, EOS 300D, EOS 350D, EOS 400D, EOS 450D, EOS 500D, EOS 550D, EOS 600D, EOS 1000D, EOS 1100D, EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D Digital, EOS D30, EOS D60, EOS Digital Rebel, EOS Kiss Digital, EOS Kiss Digital N, EOS Kiss Digital X, EOS Kiss F, EOS Kiss X2, EOS Kiss X3, EOS Kiss X4, EOS Kiss X5, EOS Kiss X50, EOS Rebel T1i, EOS Rebel T2i, EOS Rebel T3, EOS Rebel T3i, EOS Rebel XS, EOS Rebel XSi, EOS-1D, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1Ds Mark III, PowerShot G2, PowerShot G3, PowerShot G5, PowerShot G6, PowerShot G9, PowerShot G10, PowerShot G11, PowerShot Pro1, PowerShot S90, PowerShot S95, PowerShot SX1 IS Here's the direct link to the Camera Codec Add-on: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26829
That is pretty cool. I'd love to be able to see my Canon raw files. It tells me that my processor isn't supported. I was looking for one all summer & only found version you have to purchase.
