No. I have been using this camera for a year with very good results. I photograph birds mainly. If you purchase this product , buy two spare batteries.

Out of the box, no. However, you can load CHDK, which is a third party firmware build that utilizes many features the camera is technically capable of, but that Canon did not build into an official firmware, including RAW format. This is the most recent generation of cameras that are CHDK compatible. http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point-and-shoot-into-a-super-camera

There is an ad on electronic viewfinder for the camera. This is the main reason this camera is so small and one of the main reasons I purchased it. Another nice quality is the fact that it has a built in flash which in my opinion is more important then the viewfinder. The power is zoom that comes with the kit is an excellent small form factor Lens again adding to its small compact and portable size. Yes it does shoot raw.

Thanks for your input. Like you I also used almost every Nikon camera. At present I use D3X, and always shoot raw Nef format. To process in Photoshop, I like to convert into DNG, and this is possible with D3X. One year ago I tried Nikon D4 before I purchased, and found out Converting its RAW format to DNG was not possible. D4 was not supported by Adobe DNG. I wonder if Adobe had now included D4 as compatible to convert its Raw to DNG. I would be grateful if you Can you confirm. Thank you.

Yes. There the camera can be set for continuous shooting. Go to Menu. Select the Camera Icon for Shooting Menu. Select Continuous. You will need to experiment with the selections there.

Hi, Jackson, Yes, the G11 will not shoot RAW in the AUTO setting. The G11 is a very sophisticated point-and-shoot, with considerably more flexibility and customization than virtually all other point-and-shoots. But it's still a compact camera, so it makes sense to have at least one mode (AUTO) that is meant for the folks used to the simplicity of the point-and-shoot cameras. If you want to shoot in RAW and still want a fairly automatic , use the G11 in P (Program) mode.

I'm not sure what you mean by "refine and develop" but if the question is whether you can work with the camera's RAW images without buying additional software, the answer is yes. I don't shoot in RAW but I have an associate who has this camera and does shoot in RAW. He found that a call to Photoshop led to getting the update he needed to process the raw images in Photoshop -- and as far as I know he didn't have to pay for the upgrade.

no it doesn't save files in RAW, . It uses the formats, JPEG for pictures files, wav audio, then when filming it saves the files as, MOV. H.264 /mpeg-4 AVC.and for audio stereo it saves the audio as LPCM.

I have not tried that as yet. But if it doesn't have that feature, that would be a poor reason not to purchase the camera. I take crisp clear photos with it every time I use it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else unless Sony came up with a better model.

I cant comment on the quality of RAW Vs Jpeg as I stick with Jpeg. I can say however if you want to use most of the cameras apps it will force you to use jpeg witch is why I hvent been using RAW format. Also the camera is amazing, excellent photographs and user functionality. Ive used it for a year as my first dslr, so im still a novice. I do love this camera though. You should be able to track down som RAW reviews online though

Yes you can. My wife has the camera today, otherwise I would tell you how, but I kinda have to do it.

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.

No. You have to buy a card. The internal memory of the camera is pretty small.

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

I apologize for taking so long to respond to this - it got lost in my Inbox. Yes, I would highly recommend this as a great beginner camera. Spend a bit of time and study the manual and practice with the different settings, and you will be amazed at the pictures you take!

Unfortunately not.....there are some improvements you can make if you are shooting RAW...but with a JPG you have less to work with. In short, a lousy shot is a lousy shot. If that is what your camera is giving you, time to look for a new camera (assuming of course that the individual's photo skills aren't the problem).
