Photoshop and RAW Files

I have Photoshop 7.0.1 and I am trying to us it on Canon RAW files.
I loaded the Photoshop Camera RAW 2.3 update, but when I try to open the Canon
RAW file I get the following message:
Unable to use the Camera RAW Plug-in.
It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.

I saw something about having to buy a plug-in to work on RAW files, but I could
not find where to buy the plug-in on the Adobe web site.

Can Photoshop 7.0.1 handle Canon Raw files?
If I have to buy a plug-in does anyone have a url that points to where to buy
the plug-in?

Thanks

The standalone RAW plug-in is no longer available. So you will now either
have to buy Photoshop Elements 3 (which from what I have heard has dumped
down RAW support) or Photoshop CS.

Or get Adobe's RAW converter (DNG) and then something like
Breezebrowser that supports DNG.

Boy, a few more steps and we'd have a squaredance grin.

I think the D60 was the last Canon dSLR supported by this plug-in. You can
hack the file and use it with the 10D too but that's about it, I don't think
the Rebel or the 20D are supported, though it would make sense that if you can
hack it for the 10D you can hack it for the Rebel.

Adobe dropped support for this plug-in for V 7, sorry.

If you don't want to upgrade to CS then you might look at the Capture One
converter by Phase One. It costs $99 for the basic Canon dSLRs (more for the
pro models) and does a better job of conversion than CS with what many of us
consider a much friendlier, more efficient workflow. You can get free
downloads good for 60 days if you try all three versions ...
