Another vote for the EX1/2 if using raw.

All my recent shots here are shot using my old EX1 using RAW.

Here's an old review of the EX1;

That was an interesting read. There is a bit of nostalgia on other forums for CCD sensors with the image quality which was lost with the more efficient CMOS sensor.

EX2f reviews tend to show barrel distortion wide open but I think the later firmware solved that. It is always amusing with the Panasonic reviews which talk about the efficient Leica lens showing no barrel distortion in their compacts but is is more likely the software. The Panasonic Leica lenses are efficient at gathering dust that is for sure.

Also one review missed that if you clicked in the front dial an exposure offset dial came up.

One funny thing was I bought the Olympus XZ-1 as I wanted HD video but the Olympus video was excruciatingly awful so that taught me to listen to what reviews said. I did buy an EX2f later and wish I had kept it.
