It is promissed that V4 will not be further developed just minor bugfixes may come out if it is necesary. I don't know if a new camera qualifies as a bug needing a fix.
I appreciate that, but when the 5D Mk3 was shipping PM v4 was the only version available (before v5 public betas).
As I remember PM5 first had some problems with 5D mk3 files like serial number variables didn't work with it....than it got fixed. Now it works just fine.
Good to know, thanks. However, it would be nice to hear from Camerabits that there are no outstanding issues with v4 and 5D Mk3 files.
On the other hand I think PM5 is well worth the price what I already paid for it.
Excellent. But
for me, the new features in v5 are not compelling, I simply don't need them.
A few years ago I'd be all over this upgrade (it provides features I was yearning for), but my work has changed and so has how I use PM. It's now a luxury used as a browser for culling images from a shoot, adding IPTC info, and quickly generating client web galleries. Other software I also own does all this; a bit slower than PM, but $80 buys an awful lot of instant coffee for me to drink while I wait.
I think v5 is an excellent product, and I appreciate all the hard work Camerabits have put into it. It's simply not as essential
for me, as it used to be.
Cheers,
Tony
