D3 and D300 sound awesome but it seems that Nikon is already stretching the truth a little. Check out this thread with respect to the 933k resolution LCD...

This ACR 4.1 update does indeed work on PSE5 (I tried it this morning). The sharpening, noise reduction, and clarity features are accessible but you can't access the defringe controls or any of the other more sophisticated features.

I found the DPP workflow and functions a bit confusing until I spent an hour or so going through the tutorials at the Canon learning center. See:

I suppose I could have read the manual, but who wants to do that?! ;-)

 

Based on the tutorials and some additional playing around I'm quite pleased with the results I'm getting. The other program I'm trying to get the hang of is Capture One LE. So far I don't find the interface as pleasant to use as that of DPP.
