Alot! While Photoshop 5 lets you do basic photo editing, there have been alot of changes since then. The healing brush stands out the most. Save for Web wasn't released until 5.5; in 5 there is no RAW support; no vector support; no red eye reduction; vanishing point filter; no 3d support; and no smart objects. On the plus side, bank note detection wasn't added until CS(8.0) so you can use it to forge enough money to buy a copy of CS4.

As far as I know, the latest is CS6 or CC - there is no CS8 yet! If you mean Photoshop 8, then I have some bad news - the latest camera raw plugin is only compatible with CS6. Older versions of photoshop may have older versions of the plugin shipped with them, but these will not be compatible with newer cameras. Also, Photoshop 8 is rather old, I am not even sure that it has any support for the RAW format whatsoever. In any PS version you should be able to open the file as you would any other. It will open up the RAW file screen where you can further edit any coloring or temperature of the photo before opening it to edit directly in Photoshop.
There are plenty of programs that can be used to fix raw pictures. Such as, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Adobe Photoshop
