I got a 5D MKIII on Friday and of course neither Adobe or Apple support the RAW files yet.
I'd like to shoot some RAW; I can import to the Canon software, create a DNG and edit that file. If I need to validate, is the DNG file acceptable - I could submit the CR2 file, but who'd be able to read it?
I know I could shoot RAW plus JPEG and submit the JPEG (I think), but say I have a FS candidate for which I only have a CR2 file??
id be a lot better placed to help given your address, times when you wont be there and your alarm code haha :) adobe should catch up soon id think but submitting the raw is all you can do, if a litle arrognat assuming a ribbon hahaha ;)

I speak as someone who just got asked to validate my 25th place after the challenge was over!!
I wish they would accept DNG files as I would like to save images into lightroom in that format and then as backups also and not keep the original raw.

The problem with DNG versus sidecar files is this: if you go in and touch up or adjust the image in any way, your automatic backup now must backup the entire file. In LR with RAW, if you do a touchup, the only file that needs to be backed up is the itty bitty sidecar file.
As far as submitting DNG, no, we don't accept them for any camera where they are not the native (or one of the choices for native) capture.

This seems weird to me. You'd think Adobe would be in bed with the major camera makers so they could have the specs ahead of time and have the ACR ready when the camera was released.

It's not unusual. New cameras are released all the time, and software developers can't realistically issue an update every other day. I had to wait several weeks for the RAW files from my 7D to be supported by Adobe and Apple.

The only guarantee is that Adobe will bend you over to buy the latest product... not like they will push a simple camera profile to older versions :-0)

Now why should they do that? They've already spent your money on bonuses, conferences, and the like. Want continued support? Continue to pony up. And no more of this skipping a rev or two nonsense. Ferraris do not run on air alone...
