Best RAW image converter ?

[Jeehemdee]

While browsing the web, I discover many RAW image converter..
1) The one from Canon of course
2) http://www.bibblelabs.com/
3) http://www.breezesys.com/BreezeBrowser/
4) http://www.pictureflow.com/YarcPlus/Pages/YP-Download.html

Is there any comparison chart somewhere ?
Do you have an idea of the best one to use ?

And while I'm there...is there a Batch RAW converter ?

Many thanks for any kind help ;-)

You might want to add this one to your list of Browser/Converter too.

It's a great program that does most of what I like to see.
Tons of options.

Jee,

The software you list all use the same JDK from Canon, so theortically, the conversion "engine" is the same for all of them (although I'm not sure Bibble handles Canon files; they may be strictly Nikon). Theoretically, they all should all perform the conversion the same. There's a thread somewhere on this board where a couple of folks debate that the output from each of these does differ. I think any difference in the conversion performance of these programs will be very small.

Where they do differ, however, is in their user interface. The "quality" of user interfaces is highly subjective and personal. The best way to determine which of these is best is to download the free trial of each, try them out, and see which one fits best.

you can find a download link to RAW converter, which is not based on Canon SDK.
