If you were importing 150 shots would you open them all at once in CS5? I've been using Adobe's DNG converter as my DPP disc was missing the installation files and Canon have no spare software CD Roms!

Here is a DNG converter:

I use the converter and import into LR4. It works great.
You can still save the CR2 files as well if you want them too.

The problem is that its a beta test version. Not something you'd want to trust your production files with. Its for testing.
DPP is a released version. Adobe also has a beta camera raw, good for testing.

I am splitting hairs here, but...
It is actually not a beta but a "release candidate" which is basically something ready for prime time.
Google "beta versus release candidate" to see the difference.
The other thing is that you can keep your original cr2 files if you are worried or paranoid that this converter will somehow mess up the DNG.
Anyway, to each their own. I was just trying to offer what I feel is an easier solution until Adobe updates LR4/Camera Raw to include the M3.

of course you can that's what the bridge is all about, i have Lr3 but barely use it anymore CS5 is more refined and has everything you need.

TIFF Is definitely lossless (or in some cases uncompressed) but it's by no means a raw format. The most obvious difference is that TIFF is demosiaced, and some amount of processing had to go into that step. It's probably a perfectly decent workflow but you are definitely losing data.
On a side note, I do think I've encountered a mosaic tiff file which came of a DCS1 SLR. I recall needed some funny photoshop filter to even load it. Probably got that in a box somewhere :)
