RAW -cameras and software

[jeff m]

Hi camera people,
Which cameras have the ability to produce RAW files, am I looking at a boatload of money?

Any opinions on "RAWshooter premium" or "Adobe lightroom"

Cheers

Only the "high end" prosumers create RAW files, and all DSLRs will.

Regarding Rawshooter/Lightroom - I'm pretty sure Adobe acquired Pixmantec recently meaning rawshooter will soon cease to exist, if it hasn't already.

Fuji E900 will do RAW for about £180 at the moment.

Indeed Adobe have acquired Pixmantec. Adobe have/will stop selling the Premium version but will continue to allow free download of RawShooter Essential, though don't know how long for.
I use RS Essentials and it's very good. The fact that it is free is just a bonus. Has always received good write ups in the mags for it's simplicity, intuitiveness and general good accurate performance.
Only thing I find missing from it for my needs is levels and curves which is of course what was offered on the premium package.

Having said that on the PC I like Rawshooter Essentials but there isn't really an equivelant for that on the Mac.

Now adobe have acquired them we might see a Mac version... ?

Which is the very reason I bought it for. Adobe lightroom is crap compared to RS Premium, losing it a bitter pill to swallow even if they are giving me Lightbox for free...I shall use RS as long as I can.
