....LIMITED RAW FUNCTIONALITY: I can't shoot RAW in Auto modes???? Seriously, Canon? Why the hell not? Granted, I shoot manual about three-quarters of the time, but this is a P&S camera! Ease, convenience, speed! There's ZERO reason to block RAW capture in Auto modes. I'm pinning my hopes on someone at Canon coming to their senses and shooting out a firmware update before I'm forced to hack it myself....

Just curious as to what P&S cameras in the same genre as the PowerShots allow RAW in the Full Auto Mode?  My P&S experiences mainly limited to Canon and Panasonic -- neither allow RAW in full Auto.

Personally I avoid full Auto mainly due to the full Auto multi-AF areas; when multi AF areas shown as being used (which is a misnomer in itself) you do not know which frame being used.

IMHO P mode superior to full Auto mode in many ways, and for PowerShots with hot shoe not having TTL flash in Manual far more absurd than not being able to use RAW in full Auto mode.

Cheers,
Jon
