Re: Point and Shoot Digicam that shoots RAW

I have always recommended the Canon G3/G5 series for this. I have two G3s to back up my DSLRs, and just love them. They have most of the advanced features of DSLRs (other than the TTL viewing, of course) plus a most excellent tilt-and-swivel LCD display. However, I understand that the newest in the series, which I believe is the G7, has neither RAW nor the tilt-and-swivel LCD, so I guess one of the older models is the one to have. Note that the viewfinders in these cameras are not as good as they might be -- generally, one uses the LCD screen to frame shots. I quickly got used to this, and actually prefer the G3s for shots from awkward angles. Even using the LCD extensively, I get great battery life, too. Best regards, etienne
