Yes, there is plenty of Canaan software but I have no interest in using 
it since I have no interest in using any of the camera's settings which 
diddle with the JPEGs (what Canaan calls "picture style").  I just did 
compare the embedded JPEG (default camera settings except for WB) with 
the default ACR conversion at the same WB and they look almost identical.

I moved to ACR very quickly because of the problems I had with Minolta 
raw conversion software both Minolta and third party.  ACR is much 
easier to use and, frankly, does a better job.  I don't see any need to 
learn multiple apps when ACR is performing to my full satisfaction.
