Anyone know how the ACR changes are fed into Lightroom?
It seems odd that some parts of the product set can access new cameras and others cannot...
:-((
Duuuuhhhh. Read on before commenting....
I bought student edition of CS3 Extended - the down side is that they no longer support student editions and new ones are limited to college students only.
Seems a bit of a con to only support the newest software version when the raw workflow is outside the actual software.
Work arounds will be challenging.

Adobe's answer is that you download Adobe's free DNG converter. You then convert the images from your new Canon camera to DNG RAW files and then CS3 can read them. Some downloaders could be configured to do the conversion for you automatically when you download them onto your hard disk.
The problem is that the camera manufacturer's keep changing their formats and new information is needed by a RAW processor for each new camera. While I myself wish that CS3 would keep working for me with newer camera formats, I have been in the software business long enough to appreciate that we can't really expect Adobe to keep developing, testing and releasing revisions to older versions of Photoshop without paying for it in some way. That wasn't an implied part of our purchase when we bought CS3. By then, it was well known that CS3 wouldn't work with future RAW formats forever as we'd already seen that play out with CS and CS2.
My solution for now is to do all my RAW processing in Lightroom and buy the updates for that (lots less $$ than CSx) and I'll just use CS3 for pixel editing on TIFFs or JPEGs. If I was set on CSx and didn't want to upgrade, I'd probably go the DNG route myself. I've read the specs on it, seen some camera manufacturers support it (the smaller ones) and seen that Adobe is very committed to making that an open standard so it seems a reasonable route to me.

How is it a con? Adobe offer an appropriate RAW converter to go with appropriate version of Photoshop. Your workflow is up to you; it is not dictated by Adobe. You can always use the free converter supplied by your camera maker. And as John says, Adobe do offer a pretty easy route to handle newer versions of a RAW file and old versions of Photoshop in the shape of DNG.
