Post-processing Canon EOS / PowerShot CR3 RAW files

Something to keep in mind for the Canon photographer when considering the new Canon EOS M and EOS R / EOS RP Mirrorless cameras.

The Canon Powershot SX70 HS, Canon EOS M50, EOS R / EOS RP / EOS R1 / EOS R3 / R5 (II) / R6 (II) / R7 / R8 / R10 and EOS 90D / EOS M6 Mark II  uses the CR3 RAW / C-RAW file standard and therefore not compatible with Lightroom 5 / 6 / 7. All future Canon EOS and Canon Powershot cameras will probably also be CR3 RAW-enabled.

Update: All Canon EOS RP CR3 RAW files are now compatible with the latest editions of Lightroom
