STILL no support for Canon 5D MKII mRaw or sRAW!

I had high hopes for moving my workflow back to Capture One from Lightroom, but I am SHOCKED that version 7 still does not support Canon 5D MKII mRAW or sRAW files.

Let's see, how long has the 5D MKII been for sale? How long have C1 users been asking for mRAW support? (Umm since shortly after the camera was released?)

Even in July, here's what Drew said:


Fine, but it's clear now that's it's likely never going to happen.

Epic fail...

  Unfortunately its not in Capture One 7.0 but that certainly doesn't mean that it won't ever happen.
  We've looked into it and it will take quite some time to implement as the file structure is not as straight forward as it is for the 5D Mark II. We wish it were easier but them's the breaks.
  Now that Capture One 7 is out we'll be working on bug fixes and feature requests for the next feature release (likely a 7.x as appose to a 7.0.x update).
  Sorry to disappoint on the launch of Capture One 7 but trust that it's not written off.
  
  Epic time investment...

  Thanks for letting us know, Drew.
  
  It's really unfortunate.
  
  For MANY years, I pushed everyone to Capture One because of it's superior color.
  
  Being somewhat of a computer guru amongst my photography friends, they seem to turn to me when they need advice. And it pains me to have to tell them that Capture One is not an option any more. Almost all the pro photographers (mostly wedding shooters) that I know use mRAW all the time since we're shooting thousands of photos a day and don't need the full res of the 5D2. It's just a waste of space to store the large files.
  
  Anyway, I know in the scheme of things, 5D MarkII shooters who shoot mRAW AND want to use Capture One is a very small slice of the user base, but it's certainly gotten smaller since the 5D2 came out!
  
  I won't hold my breath then... My experience with Phase One is that when you say you are working on it and it will come soon, then it only takes forever. But if you are already saying it's going to be a long time, then that's not very hopeful.

  Sorry, but I meant to put 5D Mark III in the posts above. I think that's obvious though.

  Hi,
  
  I tried converting mRAW's to dng and C1 can't see also this format. So I have question - is there other solution for this problem (i mean maybe converting to any other format that C1 will see)?
