joe_lacy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm looking for a small Point and Shoot that has IS, a macro lens and shoots raw. What are my model choices? Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tridakfoto Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The "G" series? G5, G7, G9 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlong Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you're willing to use <a href="http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK">alternative firmware</a>, you might consider cameras like the A650 IS, A710 IS, or A720 IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrybc Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've seen some of the RAW results from the A-series cameras and, honestly, they weren't very impressive. Not much gain, imo. larsbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanthree Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Are there any current Canon P&S models that shoot RAW other than the G9? I don't think so. Canon caught a raft of BS after they dropped RAW from the G7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oofoto Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The GX100 has a great macro mode, IS and shoots RAW. It's smaller and much lighter than the G9. Not Canon but really worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mckone Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 What does macro mode do on a P&S camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 What does macro mode do on digicams? Lets you focus closer... Joe, the Panasonic LX2 also has all of these features and has a unique 16:9 sensor. Here are some RAW conversions on my website... http://gmchappell.smugmug.com/gallery/3986208_wzxnV#253506544 It also gives you access to virtually all controls via either a switch or button without having to access menus, just like a DSLR.. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasoniclx2/page2.asp The RAW conversions are substantially better than the in-camera JPEG engine from ISO 200 upwards. It's the only way I shoot this camera and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
