The manual clearly states that "processing RAW images from this camera is not possible". I wish I had known this, I would not have bought this camera. While the camera does allow you to shoot in RAW, you cannot download or open the files on your computer. You have to go to the Canon website and download software. The instructions to do so are confusing, and the instructions on how to actually use the software are even more confusing. Unless you plan on only shooting in JPEG, do not buy this camera. The autofocus and shutter (there is a lag or delay when you press the shutter) are so slow on this camera, dont even think about trying to capture moving subjects. I tried to shoot my dog jumping in broad daylight, and it was impossible. Nothing but complete blur. Also, because it is completely digital, the viewfinder and image display shut off after you take a shot, as it is processing. The viewfinder itself is also digital as well...which totally negates the purpose of having a viewfinder...
