Beside the Mac OS X 10.5.3 update Apple has posted another update which adds RAW decoding support for seven more cameras.
The seven cameras now fully supported in Mac OS X are: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/Kiss Digital x2/450D, Epson R-D1, Leaf AFi 7, Leaf AFi 6, Leaf AFi 5, Pentax K200D, Pentax K20D.

You can get the update via Software Update or you can download the standalone installer (2.4MB) from Apple’s website.
