Different sites/conflicting specs on whether SX710 HS has RAW...

Canon mentions "RAW+JPEG" can be erased, but doesn't mention RAW otherwise:

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/other_powershot/powershot_sx710_hs#Specifications

This site claims it does have RAW:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-sx710/canon-sx710DAT.HTM

Those sites also show that the SX710 has a 20mp CMOS sensor, whereas dpr database shows it to have a 20mp BSI-CMOS sensor.

The SX700 is shown to have a 16mp BSI-CMOS sensor, so what is real in these specs.

The SX710 jumps from 16 to 20mp with the possibility of not being back lit.

I would want to see some comparisons before paying more for the Sx710.
