Now to start of I was always the type of person to purchase my products when it came to adobe software, I paid full bucks for Lightroom 3 and fair dues it is a great programme I use it almost daily But I'm now waiting for the d800 to arrive in the post and maybe I was slow to pick up but LR3 doesn't support raw from the d800 but LR4 does I mean a simple update was all that was needed for this not a whole complete program. I strongly believe this is a marketing plan from adobe and I'm sure is was but what are your thoughts on this matter.?

I would hope an update to LR3 comes out but tbh, adobe have been doing things like this more and more often. They also seem to be limiting the amount of upgradability you can do.
I don't know how the dog raw front compares and how well LR works with the, but could e an option to convert thief to DMV or. Another interchangeable agnostic format,

Adobe do have a free program to convert to DNG if you want to stay with LR3
It's going to cost you £60 to upgrade your LR3 to LR4, this is to have a class leading piece of software to use with your £2400 bit of new hardware... LR3 will probably have D800 support eventually, but lets be honest Adobe are under no oligation to supply it at all.
They didn't write a completely new program i.e LR4 just because Nikon released the D800. They wrote a completely new program i.e LR4 because they were on schedule to update LR3. Nothing to do with Nikon at all.
Give it a few weeks if that and I'm fairly sure that Adobe will release another incremental patch for LR3.
Considering LR4 is far cheaper than LR3 I think we have to give credit to Adobe. If Camera manufacturers followed suit then the Canon EOS 5D Mk III would be cheaper than the MKII

My D7000 was supported in an update to LR3 luckily, but if they were already developing LR4 then it made good business sense to provide D800 support only in their new release forcing us lot of pay through the nose. But like mentioned above, once you've spend the thousands of pounds on the new D800, is really £60 more than much of a problem?
Anyway the catalogue feature of LR is so advanced there really isn't much alternative out there, I know I wouldn't want anything else as it's so convenient!
