Canon P&S and RAW Images

[zackojones]

Greetings,

 

I'm looking for a Canon P&S that uses the same battery as my Digital Rebel XT

and supports RAW format. According to the Canon USA web site the following

cameras use the same battery. Does anyone know if any of them support RAW

format as well?

 

PowerShot S30

PowerShot S40

PowerShot S45

PowerShot S50

PowerShot S60

PowerShot S70

PowerShot S80

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback -- I'm off to search google...

I have a PowerShot S30 and it does provide raw images. I don't use the camera a lot and have only just begun to try the raw format instead of jpg or TIF I have a Mac Emac with OS10 and the PowerShot came with OS9 software. As a result I have to convert the raw image (after some simple editing) to jpeg or TIF before I can import it into IPhoto or the older version of Photoshop that I have. Also I'm not sure if you can have raw as the default format or must go through the menu and select it each time you turn on the PowerShot.

All the PowerShot S series cameras you mentioned above, except S80, support raw.

Search dpreview.com instead. Use the "Features" or "Side-by-Side" tools. Canon has eliminated raw from its p&s lineup. The 70 was the last raw shooter of the S line, and the 6 of the G line.

All,

 

Thanks for the replies. I'm currently watching a few different cameras on Ebay so we'll see what happens. KEH as a couple as well that I may check into.
