Can this camera shoot in RAW?

No. at least not the one that I have, which I bought ~5 years ago. Not sure if it's been changed or updated since then.

if you can work in that format the problem is that the camera is not waterproof because the O-rings are due and water percolates quickly

HI Anthony, You can shoot RAW & JPEG together, which is what I currently shoot.

Yes you can....but depth od field is so.critcal when doing Macro photgraphy that I would not use it. But yes the camera works as always.

Yes you can as the other comments covered the subject well. I have never checked but I think you need the camera operating to take a still photo?

Your tablet isn't going to "try" to convert the raw files. However, you can get an app for the tablet like DSLRController that will allow you to control the camera and view images off of the card.

Canon has in the camera software the ability to shoot RAW, but it is disabled. They use one chip for MANY cameras. .... enabling this or that depending on model. There is a "work-around" with CHDK that will allow you to shoot RAW and .jpg at the same time ... remember... .jpg starts out as a RAW image, then is compressed. Amazon.com has in its reviews of the SX40 everything you need to know ..... from start to finish will take you about a half day of reading, downloading, and testing .... but a cookbook operation.

sorry - don't know - never tried. Call your local camera store and ask them.

my understanding is it does not- and I wish it did- I wonder if a firmware update might make this possible? And just how likely such an update is? My gut says no, but i'm willing to bet they could sell a lot more of them if the unit did shoot raw. Perfect world, it would shoot Jpeg, RAW, and Jpeg+Raw. If it did, that would make me 100% more likely to buy one, as it is, I am waiting to see a few hands-on reviews before I commit to one.

Not directly. You can set it up to take multiple photos with different light levels in one shot and use photoshop or some other programs to make HDR.

YES! There are multiple ways to shot: Fine, Standard, RAW, Fine + RAW, Standard + RAW etc.I highly recommend this camera!

All responses are spot on. The downside of RAW is that software, such as iPhoto does not support RAW, and will not import the files. If you have/buy Photoshop Elements 6 Mac, you can download Adobe's plug-in which will allow importation of RAW format files.

Yes. RAW is one of the options to save images- although, it does consume a lot more space on the SD card.

I would assume you could. I can shoot in full daylight with my little Sony, in NighShot mode, with a 720nm, near infrared, filter in place. I can't see through the filter but the camera can, and with the filter in place they are truly IR images. The images are really quite pretty, the sky goes black and the foliage goes white. Having said all this Paul is correct, you can't get thermal from this camera.

You'll get a bit better dynamic range shooting RAW; however, it is not a leaps and bounds-like improvement over jpeg. Essentially, any RAW improvement is negligible which makes the camera primarily a jpeg shooter.

No. I think that would be the sx 60 but you wouldn't get raw format. Trade off.

It will work ... mostly. If you use OOC jpegs instead of RAW, it will not correct for chromatic aberrations (color fringing along edges), unlike on a Panasonic body. If you shoot RAW, then it's not an issue.

I have no idea, because I boult it on line. If you can find the shop which have sell this camera, it will be ok.
