A frustration with buying the latest and greatest DSLR is that Aperture won't support the RAW format straight away. We're forced to wait for an update to add that capability. This is one reason that I went for the Canon 30D rather than the 40D: it's supported and has been for a long time.

Derrick Story at O'Reilly Digital Media has a partial answer: shoot RAW+JPEG and view the JPEGs in Aperture.
