EOS 60D won’t be supported in CS3.
It is only in ACR 6.2 0r 6.3 (=CS5)
Sorry, but the 60D is a perfect camera and worth the upgrade to CS5 or LR 3

Get the free DNG converter, then CS3 raw will be good to go.
I’m happy with CS3 (or more the point I can’t afford upgrading to CS5/6 *and* buy the camera) but if there isn’t a RAW update for the 60D and CS3 then I probably won’t buy the camera, not yet anyway.
Any facts about this out there?
Adobe considers CS3 to be an obsolete version. After the next version is out they will never issue an update for any prevision version. They will also never issue a update to camera raw for anything but the current version of Photoshop.
This is the long term policy of Adobe. You have 2 choices, 1 use the free DNG converter to convert to DNG and then CS3 will be able to load the photo or 2 used the software that comes with the 60d to convert to a file that can be loaded. I would suggest TIF. This has some possibilities as Adobe doesn’t read anything but white balanced from the camera. If you say shoot in camera when you load it into Photoshop it will be in color. My opinion its better to do things like that in Photoshop but many people are infatuated with the various camera styles that their camera produce.
Note that my upgrade from CS4 to CS5 cost $100, if you wait to CS6 to upgrade you will be required to pay the full cost as Adobe will only upgrade 3 versions back.
