I can assure you the last thought my wife has about the new camera is whether it will capture RAW. Well, since I take almost every shot in raw, it is important to me. And, the price of the camera is important to me at this point.   She will actually want me to spend less than I likely will.

I have check out lots of the better models and too many are appearing perfect for the choices expept for price.  So, to drop down a few dollars can anyone tell me about the Olympus
SP 570 or the SP 565?  I see the later one is a bit more costly, about $20US more but can't see why.    For the price the camera look fine on paper...have not see the real deal.

The Canon Powershot G10 is a bit out of my price range for now.  (Yikes, especially with the results of the election and the reaction of the market to that! Scary stuff here.)
