Canon Digital Pocket Cameras

I have a Canon Powershot sx100IS and do not know if it has raw, if it has how do I set it? What are the advantages of raw? and do I need a special program to pass it to my computer?

You have a nice camera, however, it does not support RAW. If you want a Point and Shoot camera that support RAW look into buying the G10 if not just move to a DSLR something like Xs or XSi for beginners.

If you was able to shoot RAW the advantages are way to many to list. Overall ability to edit and correct your files. Something you cant do at will with a compress file like .jpg! You’ll be able to fix blemishes, white balance, color temperature, exposure, etc etc etc. It’s great if you want to break free and get creative with your pictures ..

Lastly, yes you need an additional program for this. However you will get a freeware with the disk you received in the camera. Or you can purchase programs like Light Room which I use and totally love and recommend!
Hope this help!

I second the Canon a-590. It uses AA batteries and that is a big plus in my book! Takes nice pictures and has many manual controlls,so as you gain experience you can get creative with your Camera. Buy a 1GB card for $12 and it can store like 300+ pictures. Maybe AA rechargeable batteries and a charger for less than $20 and you are in business. It comes with a pretty good instruction manual

i WANT A CAMERA TO TAKE PICS OF MY NEW BORN GIRL, i LOVE HER, BUT MONEY CANT BE SPENT LIKE CRAZY RIGHT NOW, SO WOULD A CASIO CAMERA THAT IS 7.2 MEGAPIXELS GOOD ENOUGH? IT DOES NOT HAVE IMAGE STABILIZATION, IS THAT AN IMPORTANT FEATURE?THE FOLLOWING ARE MY TWO CHOOICES, ANY SUGGESTIONS? THE BOTTOM CANNON CAMERA DOES HAVE IMAGE STABILIZATION BUT IT COSTS ABOUT $80 MORE.

Image stabilization is important on a camera since it will allow you to take a picture without a tripod and still get a very clear picture. The megapixels are only important when you want to use the pictures to blow them up in size otherwise it’s not that big of a deal. You can get a decent camera without spending a whole lot but you might want to do some comparison shopping and a little more research.
