I'd really like to be able to upload RAW files, or at least deal with them during import of G2 even if it means nuking the RAW and going with the JPG. I have a number of RAW files in my G2 and dealing with them moving to G3 isn't going to be fun. I don't mind if all you guys (or someone else) support is uploaded RAW gets converted to JPG with dcraw and stored.
