Will this read RAW canon format? If so I am interested in distortion correction,sharpening &amp; color balance controls.

Elements itself does not read raw format however it comes with a version of adobe camera raw which can read raw format. Once in elements you are limited to 8bit

Well I suppose Canon could be lying or the two techs at two different times were misinformed about the MPEG2. Since the camera hasn't been released yet, how do you know that the files are .mod? Also some sites (not Amazon) are claiming this is an HD camera. It's not, it's SD.

Yes, mac will give you a preview of the Leica RAW format. As for RAW adjustments, use the third party software included with the camera (Lightroom).

Yes it takes raw images. Picture quality options are fine, standard, raw+fine, raw+standard and raw.

I use it with CS5.5 and it works fine. At first there wasn't any audio on the clips I imported. I fixed it by changing the audio format on the camera to Dolby Digital instead of Linear PCM.

I don't know using a Canon. I used with a HDR-CX580V and two mikes with successfull.I used with this Sony with a Zoom H1 too.I Just turn both knobs to adjust the input signal

In any mode, push the Qual/ISO/WB button and you can access Raw shooting. I went to the Nikon Website and downloaded (and printed) the full instruction book. It's huge but worth having. It's almost 300 pages but if you print it 4 to a page it's not too bad.

You would have to contact Canon and ask them. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Where did you find the drivers. I have searched Canons website and can find no Mac drivers for this machine.

That has not been my experience. I shoot JPEG and the colors seem natural. I have had to adjust white balance on indoor shots in mixed light more than the Canon DSLR it replaced though. Overall a great camera!

I have a nex-6. It's manual focus. I've never calibrated it. You can do this for distortion correction but I just use Lightroom to lessen the distortion.

Just go to the canon website. There should be a link to owner manuals in PDF format you can download.

Thanks, Tech. Funny that teleconverters are available for so many other size lenses but not this one. I could have lived with a 1.4x. Like you said, I'll have to live with what I've got... until I can pony up $1500+ for Canon's 100-400mm zoom.I guess I'd better plan on having a good number of 8mb and 16mb cards with me and shoot JPEG and RAW so I can seriously crop and/or enlarge the best shots (which will be many if the weather is good). I want some 20" x 30" or 24" x 36" posters from what I'm shooting. A telecoverter would have helped.

You might be able to get RAW from it eventually. There is a lively community of people working to program additional features into Canon point-and-shoots. http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point+and+shoot-into-a-super+cameraNote: Since this is a new camera it may take a while before CDHK is available for it.

Not familiar with canon models, but if you have a full sized sensor some vignetting will occur. If you have a ds sensor, you shouldn't have a problem.

Hahaha. Oh Dan-you're so pithy. Hahaha. No, seriously. I wouldn't know the answer except to advise you to visit the Canon website/FAQs. I'm just venturing a guess that they should be able to help you because they made the machine. Keep smiling and keep making people laugh. Thanks for tonight's giggle.

I have it in a Canon Rebel and have had no trouble. My camera reconized it right away. I know this is not exactly the info you wanted but maybe it will help someone else.
