As a person who repairs Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, et. al. digital cameras, I 
can tell you that none of the major brands have very good software, even 
for windows.  Pentax digitals ship with ACDSee and it is very slow on 
the Mac, good on Windows.  But for me iPhoto works with any and all 
digitals that I work on.  Even some very inexpensive off brand jobs, 
they just need to us a DCIM folder and iPhoto finds it.
